OUR SCHOOL’S WORK

School response

Human-owned judgement
01

School evidence

Choose evidence that shows what the school does. The same evidence can support more than one standard without uploading the file again.

Loading real KCD evidence…

Reading existing governed sources; no second evidence database is created.

02

What the evidence shows

What does the evidence tell us? Record each finding clearly, connect it to supporting evidence, then submit it for review.

Loading governed reflection and findings…

This layer interprets evidence; it never changes official QNSA text.

03

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.

Loading professional judgement…

Judgement is human-owned and grounded in governed findings plus the official QNSA rubric.

04
