Have an inspection this week but I haven't been sent out any info ie are you ready for inspection or the self evaluation. They said not to worry about this but to have paperwork to hand but what paperwork do I need? Everything I use or just important things like certificate etc?:panic:

I think you probably need absolutely everything. From contracts to learning journeys. She will want to see it all. She told me to have it ready for her when she gets here so I have been through it all and put it in a box ready and will sit her at the table to look through it!

Hi :),
Yes, you need all your paperwork and to be able to demonstrate how you meet all the requirements.

If there are gaps in your paperwork etc, I'd advise you to wirte a list and be able to verbally back up stuff you are working on/ towards. They are very keen to see you looking at what you do, identifying weaknesses etc and thinking about how to improve, what changes you can make: have a plan. That's alot of what the SEF is about.

Get everything ready, but most of all, just try to relax and be yourself on the day: Do things in the usual way :thumbsup:

I'm sure you'll be fine,though I know how nerve racking the wait is..
Mine was far less scary in reality than I had been imagining :).

Good luck :)

bws,
Wendy :)

Good luck to all of you with your inspections this week. There seems to be a lot.... even my son's school is being 'done' this week.
