Official rubric
Preparing clear comprehensive, and announced plans that are effectively implemented, followed up on, and utilized to develop/ improve school performance in most areas, and thus achieving the school’s objectives
Preparing plans which are inclusive of some components, and known to some stakeholders. Plans are implemented, with somewhat of a mechanism for follow up, which resulted in the improvement of the school in some aspects.
School plans are limited and do not encompass all school working areas/ aspects with minimal follow up procedures, which limitedly impacted on school performance.
School response
School evidence
Choose evidence that shows what the school does. The same evidence can support more than one standard without uploading the file again.
Reading existing governed sources; no second evidence database is created.
What the evidence shows
What does the evidence tell us? Record each finding clearly, connect it to supporting evidence, then submit it for review.
This layer interprets evidence; it never changes official QNSA text.
School judgement
Compare the reviewed findings with the QNSA rubric. A responsible person chooses the judgement and explains why; the system does not choose it automatically.
Judgement is human-owned and grounded in governed findings plus the official QNSA rubric.
Strengths · Growth areas
What should we keep doing? What needs to improve? Use the findings and judgement, then ask for each point to be reviewed.
This layer is grounded in professional judgement and governed findings.
Improvement action · Impact
Convert standard gaps into trackable actions, then record implementation impact.

Review & challenge
