Ofsted Inspection Handbook – Update
Ofsted have (1st October 2021) updated their Inspection Handbook. The Handbook describes the main activities carried out during inspections of maintained schools and academies in England (under section 5 of the Education Act 2005) and sets out the evaluation criteria that inspectors use to make their judgements and on which they report.
Although written primarily as guidance for Inspectors, the Ofsted Inspection Handbook is essential reading for governors and trustees.
To access the Ofsted Inspection Handbook click here.
If you would like to discuss how to your academy school or trust might optimally plan for an Ofsted Inspection (or indeed, have a basic and more general chat about what I do) please contact me at jack@jackminto.com or on 017514 499238 for a preliminary discussion.
