SEFs that take less time to write and tell you more
Edurio Evaluate is a self-evaluation tool for school trusts. Schools complete their SEF against the renewed Ofsted framework or your own, with evidence linked in automatically, and the trust sees every school on one screen.

Self-evaluation takes a lot of work for what it gives back
Most SEFs are written in Word or Excel, saved to a shared drive and updated once a year in a rush. The evidence is held in other systems, so leaders type figures in by hand and the document is out of date within a term. Across a trust there is no simple way to see where each school stands, compare judgements or check what has changed since last time.
With the renewed Ofsted framework, many trusts are reconsidering how they do self-evaluation altogether. It is a good moment to change the tool as well as the template.
Built for the way trusts evaluate
Frameworks ready to use, or bring your own
Self-assessment templates to fit your needs, built by Edurio’s experts and aligned with sector frameworks.
Or, if you already have a self-evaluation approach that works, we can import your template and your past evaluations so your schools can carry on from where they left off.
Simple to complete
Data from your schools is linked in automatically.
A section on attendance shows the figure, the trend and the national comparison without anyone having to look it up. Text can be dictated as well as typed, and last year’s evaluation is already there to update. Headteachers spend their time on the judgement itself.
Meaningful analysis across the trust
Every school’s evaluation is in one place. The trust sees judgements by school and by section, agrees or queries them, marks where support is needed and tracks change from one year to the next. One screen replaces a folder of documents.
Coming in the future: An action library for the sector
We are building the first cross-sector library of school improvement actions, drawn from the anonymised evaluations trusts have completed in Evaluate. Trusts using the tool are shaping the future of self-assessment by contributing to a sector benchmark of actions and a smart recommendation engine we will be releasing later in the year.
Shaped with the trusts that use it
Edurio Evaluate has been developed over the past year with a group of pilot trusts who have shared their approach and reviewed the designed prototypes. It comes from Edurio, which has worked with school trusts for twelve years and runs stakeholder surveys for over 300 trusts and 3,000 schools in England.
As a Trust, we were looking for a practical, connected self-evaluation tool that could give school leaders a clear, consistent view of performance while linking directly to school improvement and risk management. … It is enabling us to identify more precisely where support is needed across our schools and tailor our Trust-wide support offer in a more strategic way.
