Organisation of prompts
The prompts within the resource are organised into 4 layers and 4 areas.
The areas are:
- leadership

Each of these areas are presented in 4 different layers, enabling schools to access prompts at each layer:
- area/theme: the four areas listed above
- component: additional sections within each area
- prompt: detailed prompt questions relating to the component
- investigation: additional information, prompts, links to supporting tools and case study resources
Please note:
Schools are not expected to provide answers to every prompt or to adopt this structure in their self-evaluation. The prompts are provided to support the process of self-evaluation and there is no expectation for schools to provide written responses for each prompt in a self-evaluation report.
