Overall judgement Important to give the overall judgement at this stage so that listeners hear the rest of the feedback in this context.
The school is a ………………….. church school/academy/college. Grade 1 2 3 4
The inspector should now report on each core question. The order is at the discretion of the inspector. In each core question the inspector should highlight the key evidence that led to the judgement. It is not necessary to go through all the evaluation statements. A few brief but telling illustrations are helpful to those present who have not been part of the ongoing dialogue with leaders.

Key findingsHighlight key points that led to the overall judgment. Where the judgement is satisfactory or weak, there is likely to be an analysis of how strengths and weaknesses were balanced to arrive at judgements. No prescribed number but should reflect the overall grade.
Areas to improve These will reflect what has been said in evaluating the core questions and the most important selected for the front page of the report. The inspector may not have precise wording at this stage but should still explain what it is that must improve. These should have been discussed with the headteacher prior to the feedback. No prescribed number but should reflect the grades.
Does the school consider the outcomes to be fair and accurately reflect the school?
Does the school consider the inspection to have been carried out in a professional manner?
Record responses to these questions. Where judgements are challenged or issues raised, the inspector should record these but not engage in a re-run of discussions that have taken place with senior leaders throughout the day. The SIAMS manager should be alerted to these asap.
Final courtesies and depart.
