Lens is so easy to use for all of SLT. We love the infographics created as provides great visuals for governor feedback and discussion. Also the alignment with the inspection framework.

At All Saints Primary School, we have found Lens to be an extremely valuable tool in supporting our self-evaluation and school improvement processes. Its clear alignment with the Inspection Framework helps provide clarity, supports distributed leadership across the school and enables evaluation activity to be both efficient and purposeful.

I’ve been using Lens for several years now, and it’s an excellent tool for organising monitoring outcomes under Inspection framework headings, supporting clear identification of strengths and areas for improvement, while producing a comprehensive summary for SMT, Governors, and as a valuable discussion document for Inspection visits (even when not required).
