Ofsted consultation on new inspection framework

Ofsted is currently consulting on it's consultation on the new inspection framework. There are some significant differences to the current framework for schools:

• Maintained schools and academies waiting to be brokered or re-brokered will receive monitoring visits within nine months
• The quality of education will be assessed by looking at the intent, implementation and the impact of the school’s curriculum, teaching and the outcomes achieved
• The new framework has a keen eye on gaming, exclusions and off-rolling as well as arrangements for pupils accessing off-site or alternative provision
• The safeguarding section has also been expanded to include information on the segregation of pupils whilst in school.

The consultation runs until 11.45pm on 5 April 2019.
