What is Lens?
Take a look at how Lens works in practice, from personalising the tool for your school to exploring the spider diagrams and self-evaluation report that help guide your next steps in school improvement.
Lens allows schools to create concise, clear and accurate evaluations, directly aligned to the NEW Ofsted Inspection Framework.
It directly supports school development planning and encourages distributed leadership, bringing everyone with a role into the self-evaluation process, developing the school as a learning organisation.
It allows Academies to easily identify strengths and areas for further development, enabling them to share good practice and work collaboratively.
Once schools evaluate their effectiveness across the Inspection Areas, Lens will automatically create a Self-Evaluation Report.
