Become Your School’s Resident Inspector

“A comprehensive session, huge amount of knowledge shared, feel so much more confident about the new Ofsted framework.” Curriculum Leader course attendee

Full Ofsted inspections will resume in September 2021 and our renowned ‘Become Your School’s Resident Inspector’ training has been revised to help you be ready for their call.

Without the focus on data, as in inspections past, our training has been condensed into a single day to focus on what you can expect from an inspection now. Deep dives, curriculum focus, emphasis on middle leaders, impact of the pandemic and relationships education are all part of revisions to the new school inspection handbook.

Our expert trainer has led Ofsted inspections for over 20 years and trained many inspectors. He will focus on what you need to do to prepare your team by taking participants through:

• The key differences between the types of Ofsted inspections
• The current situation and what inspectors focus on
• The changes to inspections of good and outstanding schools
• How Ofsted inspectors use the school inspection handbook
• What Ofsted will look at before they visit and how to prepare
• Managing the pre-inspection phone calls
• Clarifying the whole inspection process from phone call to report

The training is aimed at both primary and secondary senior and middle leaders so that they gain a thorough understanding of the inspection processes and what they need to know before and during an inspection.

At a recent pilot of our revised training, the overall course evaluation was 4.8 / 5 stars.
