SEF Who's Rebelling????

**Dragonfly** · 07-10-2009, 07:09 PM

Is there anyone that is NOT going to fill in there SEF??? just wondering.

**balloon** · 07-10-2009, 07:18 PM

I haven't and have no intention of doing so until it's made compulsory.

I do evaluate my work/progress etc in other (written) ways though which were deemed fine by my last inspector.

ME i hadn't done mine and got the call for my inspection she said that obviously would prefer me to have filled it in before she came but understood if i hadn't

and despite loads of help from sarah nev i just didn't have time to do all that i needed to do so i wrote my own using the headings from the ofsted one

she didn't make any comment on what i did so not sure if doing the official one would have been better for my grading ( i got GOOD)

i didn't do mine either

**nic76** · 07-10-2009, 07:22 PM

not done mine

**Stanfield** · 07-10-2009, 07:25 PM

Havn't had time for mine yet, hope to do it before the inspection, but not counting my chickens, I have much more important paperwork to do before my SEF!!!!

Haven't done mine yet but will be doing it, I have just bought the ebook from Sarah Nev to help me BUT it's when I have time!!!!

Anything to get ofsted out of the house quicker when they do come

I've got everything ready to do it, but now they are changing the form I'll do it in November, then call Ofsted to say I've started minding. Otherwise they will just have to do with a handwritten one

Did mine ages ago, didn't find it too bad at all & thought it really helped when it came to my inspection

Mine was 4 and a half hours with SEF! Don't believe the myth that a completed SEF leads to a shorter inspection - it doesn't!

**Rubybubbles** · 07-10-2009, 08:14 PM

not done mine

I had an inspection in Nov and she just asked me

my inspection was very long though (over 4 hours

)

Hi, I have just joined tonight, bit scary trying to find my way around but here goes.

Not yet been brave enough to have a go at completing the SEF. Just recently started my NVQ3 and stupidly wrote somewhere in there that I would be completing it!! My inspection is due in July 2010 and I have heard there is a new form coming out at the end of October 2009, anyone else heard this?

**cher25** · 07-10-2009, 08:36 PM

I havent done mine. Infact i havent even looked at it yet and as for the login details well i have no idea where they are. Got enough on my plate at the moment, so im not worrying about that on top!

i aint doin it online!!! i have practically done the old style one in writing - have printed off the new one (in draft ink to save ink!!) but havnt done it yet - it makes no odds to lenghth of ofsted visit.... and they can read it here as well as all the other stacks of paperwork i have done!!! if it takes 6 hrs it takes 6 hrs - i dont care - i've worked flippin hard so they can d*m well sit there and look at it all!

and breathe!

It did help with my inspection. it was only hour long though. Part of me wishes i hadn't done it so i might off had a proper inspection. I also think if they are going to judge you on it and quote out of it for your report then they should make it compulsary.
