SSET serves a variety of purposes and allows schools to review their work in partnership with Local Authorities or their School Improvement Partner (SIP). It uses the OfSTED SEF as a basis, with additional questions and prompts, that inform the overarching questions of the inspection framework and embed the process of self-evaluation. Headteachers have found the examples of judgements across all aspects invaluable. It allows schools to have a clear view of strengths and areas for improvement. It also allows schools to show progress when comparing grade judgements over time.

Headteachers have praised SSET:

"We bought SSET and used it to help us complete the SEF. It saved us an enormous amount of time and helped us to get the information down in an effective format. Our LEA Senior Adviser has just completed our School Annual Review. Her comments on the way the SEF is written, as an experienced OfSTED Inspector, were very satisfying and reassuring. I would recommend it to colleagues (and I have already done this on the TES website)"
