In this online masterclass, we explore the role SLT can play before, during and after an inspection in order to protect staff workload and ensure the best outcome for their school.
With expert guidance, you’ll explore the key areas of the Education Inspection Framework (EIF) and the School Inspection Handbook, which remain central to Ofsted’s 2024 guidance. Recent updates have enhanced clarity, particularly around safeguarding, the inspection process, and support for schools, helping to streamline inspections and foster collaboration.
You will delve into the full inspection methodology, from planning calls to deep dives, ensuring you understand how to support your team throughout the inspection. This course complements “The Ofsted Ready Department: Preparing for a Subject Deep Dive,” aimed at middle leaders.
