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.

The proposals will affect how Ofsted inspects schools, early years settings and further education and skills providers.

Heads Up 1 February 2019
