Why use a DfE Core Standards RAG tracker?

The DfE standards are straightforward on paper, but schools often struggle to:

  • Keep track of actions across multiple sites
  • Evidence what’s in place (and where the gaps are)
  • Report progress clearly to SLT/governors
  • Prioritise what matters most when time and budget are tight

This tracking sheet solves that by giving you a single “source of truth” you can update month to month, share internally, and use during audits, reviews, or planning.

Why buy from DMS

Plenty of templates exist, but most are generic. This tracker is designed around what schools actually need: something that is evidence-ready, easy to maintain, and easy to present.

If you want extra support, the team can also help you turn the tracker into a practical plan (for example: prioritisation, evidence gathering, technical remediation, and governance reporting).

Since 2005, Design and Management Systems (DMS) has been providing IT consultancy and support to both educational institutions and corporate clients. Supporting close to 400,000 desktops across the country, we work with organisations big and small, employing the latest pioneering technologies in the solutions we deliver.
