Deliver it yourself training

"The better you know your school, your data and the likely issues, the better prepared you can be for inspection. Nothing should come as a surprise"

John Viner, former Headteacher and Ofsted Inspector

 

The New Ofsted Inspection Framework is a complete training resource designed to bring your whole school up-to-date with the Ofsted framework introduced in January 2012 and help you prepare for a successful inspection under the new requirements.

Three informative and practical sessions develop an understanding of the changes in focus and emphasis and the implications for your school, resulting in action plans for governors, the leadership team and teaching staff.  The training will ensure everyone knows what to expect of the inspection and give you the tools to make meaningful preparations.
