An overview of the Portfolio area of SSET.net  

The Portfolio allows schools to gather and share files important to self-evaluation and school improvement.

Schools can give access to their SIP. This allows the SIP to view the schools evaluation and strategic planning documents prior to visits. The SIP is also able to upload their reports after visits.

 

Where Local Authorities subscribe to SSET they are also able to upload data files, SIP reports and consultant visit notes for their schools to access.  

To open some types of files that have been uploaded by LA's it may be necessary to allow macros to run. Ensure that the Macro security level in Microsoft Excel is set to Medium then choose to Enable Macros if prompted when opening the document in SSET.net
