Getting ready for your Ofsted inspection
To help prepare for Ofsted, you can watch the videos featuring Belita Scott, Ofsted’s National Lead for Governance.
In the short clips she talks about governors’ experience of the Ofsted inspection.
They are available at www.youtube.com/user/Ofstednews
The videos cover:
- What questions governors might be asked by inspectors (4 mins)
- What governors can expect at inspection (1.36 mins)
- Governors in the final feedback session (1.38 mins)
There’s also a governance and inspection presentation that governors may find useful to read.
