Frequently Asked Questions


What is Lens Self-Evaluation?

Lens is a simple, detailed and effective self-evaluation toolkit that aligns directly with the new Ofsted inspection framework that allows schools to self-evaluate, identify improvement areas and raise standards. It’s been created by ex headteachers and inspectors that know exactly what schools need!


How does Lens help my school to improve?

Lens empowers distributed leadership and drives whole-school improvement. It is fully aligned with the NEW Ofsted inspection framework (November 2025), helping schools to clearly identify both strengths and areas for further development.

As an added bonus, Lens automatically generates a detailed SER report for you!

For each of the 90+ prompts, Lens provides a set of High-Quality Indicators to guide and support improvement.

What is Lens based on?

Lens is built around the eight areas identified in the new Ofsted Framework. Within each area, there are key themes that inspectors consider during school visits. For every one of the five Ofsted judgements, Lens provides clear evaluative texts to support accurate self-evaluation.

Can I personalise it for my school?

 Yes, your copy will have your school logo and resemble your school colours. Once the SER report is created, you can export it to a word document and personalise it with examples that relate to your school. We’ll even give you an SER template. It really is as simple as that!

How much does it cost?

It’s a one-off purchase! There is no monthly subscription cost, and the cost is based on the number of pupils in your school. Discounted rates are available for multiple purchases within an academy or a cluster. You can use it multiple times, simply save it to your drive and evaluate and review the content in accordance with your self-evaluation timetable.
