Every point, journal and follow-up is timestamped evidence of pastoral care – when inspection comes, the story has been writing itself all year.
The fortnight every leader knows
The email lands and the gathering begins. Screenshots from one system, exports from another, a wellbeing policy updated at speed, and a pastoral lead spending evenings turning a year of genuine care into a folder that proves it happened.
The care was real. The evidence is the problem – it lives in people’s memories and six different systems, and inspection week is a hard deadline for both.
What evidence looks like when it’s daily
A school using Ten Points produces its pastoral evidence as a by-product of the school day. Every point awarded is a timestamped record of values being recognised. Every journal is a child heard, that morning, in their own words. Every flagged entry and every follow-up shows the distance between a concern arising and an adult acting – measured in hours, not meetings. Across a term, those moments become trends; across a year, they become the story of a school’s culture, told in its own data.
A school that lived it
Arcadia Global School in Dubai – more than 2,250 students – has used Ten Points since the day it opened. In April 2025, BSO inspectors rated the school Outstanding for welfare, wellbeing and behaviour, describing mental health and wellbeing as integral to the school’s welfare strategy and naming Ten Points twice in the report.
Inspectors noted that staff could monitor emotional states, spot early signs of concern, and give children the confidence to seek help from trusted adults; leadership was praised for its systematic use of data to inform decisions. The following January, KHDA rated the school Good in its first inspection, with wellbeing a notable strength.
We don’t dwell on it, but it mattered – because none of that evidence was made for the inspectors. It was made for the children, every morning, and the inspection simply read it.
What this means for your school
Whether your framework is KHDA, BSO, ADEK or Ofsted, the questions rhyme: how do you know your children are safe and well, and what do you do when they aren’t? Ten Points gives you a daily, dated, child-by-child answer.
The folder becomes a login.
Frequently asked questions
How does Ten Points support inspection evidence?
Every point, journal, alert and follow-up is a timestamped record. Schools show inspectors a live, year-long picture of behaviour and wellbeing rather than a folder assembled before the visit.
Which inspection frameworks does this apply to?
Any framework that asks schools to evidence behaviour, wellbeing and safeguarding response – including KHDA, BSO, ADEK and Ofsted.
Has Ten Points featured in real inspection outcomes?
Yes. Arcadia Global School was rated Outstanding by BSO for welfare, wellbeing and behaviour, with Ten Points named twice in the report, and Good by KHDA with wellbeing a notable strength.
