Self-evaluation for science subject leaders

Ofsted, the government department that inspects schools in England, has published guidance for science subject leaders on self-evaluation to help implement, monitor and evaluate school improvement.

The five page document begins by stating: 'inspection evidence consistently shows that the best school science teams are already good at self-review, and know how to drive improvements as a result.' The guidance includes questions to help science leaders quickly identify strengths and areas for development.
