Business By Design

For South African schools

Whole-School Evaluation, without the paper chase.

Rate. Plan. Report.

WSE Manager helps your school team complete the self-evaluation, build the School Improvement Plan, keep your evidence in one place and print a report — from any phone or computer.

No card needed. Pay by EFT only if you decide to continue.

Everything the self-evaluation needs

Team ratings

Teachers and SMT members rate each focus area on their own. The principal brings them together into one agreed rating.

Improvement plan

Weak areas flow straight into your School Improvement Plan, so nothing found in the evaluation gets forgotten.

Evidence files

Upload photos, PDFs and documents against each focus area. Private to your school and easy to find at inspection time.

Reports and results

A results page with a radar chart, and a printable report you can hand to the SGB or the district.

District view

Circuit or district officials can see submitted evaluations for the schools they are linked to, and nothing else.

Export your data

Download your ratings and evidence any time. Your information stays yours.

Works on a phone

Questions

Is this an official Department of Basic Education product?

No. WSE Manager is an independent tool made by Business By Design to help schools complete the self-evaluation and improvement plan. It is not issued or endorsed by the Department.

Who can see our school's information?

Only the people you add to your school. Each school's information is kept separate. A district official can see your evaluation only if they have been linked to your school and only after you submit it.

What happens after the free trial?

Your information stays safe. If you do not continue, your school becomes read-only, so you can still look at your work and export it. When you pay, you can carry on where you stopped.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. You can export your ratings and evidence as a spreadsheet and a ZIP file at any time.

Is my learners' personal information stored?

The app records school-level information such as learner numbers per grade, not learner names. See our privacy policy for details.

Can the district or circuit office use it for all its schools?

Yes, that is what the district view is for. Get in touch and we will set up your officials and the schools they should see.
