Behaviour Self-Evaluation Form (SEF) Template

🔒Updated to align with Ofsted's 2025 School Inspection Toolkit

This behaviour self-evaluation form template provides a comprehensive framework for headteachers, SLT and behaviour leads to assess and improve behaviour systems across their school. The editable Word document guides you through a structured annual review of your behaviour policy implementation, culture and outcomes.

Key features:

• Complete school context analysis - track pupil numbers across behaviour support plans, suspensions, alternative provision and safeguarding links
• Nine core evaluation areas - from leadership and policy compliance to staff training and pupil outcomes
• Evidence-based assessment - suggested sources and documentation for each area to support your RAG ratings
• Governor accountability - ready-to-share format for governing body oversight and challenge

This structured approach helps you identify gaps before they become issues, ensuring your behaviour systems are robust and compliant. Whether you're preparing for inspection, addressing governing body questions, or simply wanting to strengthen your school's behaviour culture, this template provides the systematic review process that's often missed in busy school schedules.

Ideal for headteachers who need to demonstrate impact, behaviour leads seeking to improve and embed their practice, and SLT members preparing evidence for external scrutiny.
