Ofsted pilot and consultation

Invitation to join Ofsted pilot

A reminder to schools, if you are interested in taking part in a pilot Ofsted under the new framework, please email sophiethompson@warwickshire.gov.uk and your details will be passed on to Ofsted. 

Consultation on new framework

Ofsted is currently consulting 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.
