Guidance to help schools prepare for Ofsted

James McNeillie HMI has asked us to draw attention to this guidance leaflet from Ofsted to help schools to gather the information that they will be asked to provide to inspectors during their visit.

James also advised that it would be helpful for the inspection if timetables can be made available to inspectors before they arrive onsite - this will mean that leaders and inspectors can draft an inspection schedule that fits with staff availability and the evidence that they will need to be able to consider. 

You can find more information in the 'Inspecting maintained schools and academies: a leaflet for maintained schools and academies'.
