With the loss of ‘subject deep dives', the focus of inspection has shifted from middle leaders to senior leaders. SLT are now more heavily involved in meetings and learning walks. So what should senior leaders do to prepare for inspection, run a smooth inspection visit, and build on the outcomes of inspection to secure further school improvement? In this half day masterclass, education expert Matt Bromley will provide practical., evidence-based advice for making a success - not just of inspection - but of everyday school improvement.
By the end of this masterclass, you will be able to:
Understand the new Ofsted framework and what it means specifically for senior leaders
Explain the inspection methodology and process with confidence
Prepare effectively for the planning call with the lead inspector
Conduct productive meetings and learning walks alongside inspectors
Articulate and evidence the impact of leadership decisions on school improvement
Respond constructively to inspectors' emerging judgements
