Becta’s self-review framework

The self-review framework is an online tool which enables schools to assess and benchmark their use of ICT across all their activities. It enables schools to identify where they are, and shows the practical steps they can take to improve their ICT use to benefit the organisation. In many areas, it complements the work schools currently undertake for Ofsted’s Self Evaluation Framework.

The self-review framework comprises of eight elements; these elements cover the whole development of ICT across the school and enables the organisation to assess itself against the following elements:
• Leadership and Management
• Curriculum
• Learning & Teaching
• Assessment
• Professional Development
• Extending Opportunities for Learning
• Resources
• Impact on Pupil Outcomes

This process when completed will yield a summary of the school's current standing and give actions to progress further in their use of ICT.

The self-review framework is the result of collaboration between Becta, Ofsted, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), the Training and Development Agency (TDA), the National College for School Leadership (NCSL), the National Strategies, the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) and Naace, alongside advice and guidance from a wider range of partners and stakeholders. By being developed in partnership, Becta's self-review framework uses a common language and approach agreed across Government agencies and departments ; https://selfreview.becta.org.uk/
