Understanding the new Ofsted framework

The Ofsted framework introduced in November 2025 marks a shift in how school Ofsted inspections will be performed and how schools will be evaluated. The new approach aims to provide a more nuanced and comprehensive assessment of schools, moving away from single-word judgments to a more detailed and supportive inspection process. This session is designed to develop familiarity with the process and the Ofsted toolkits to support leaders and Governors in effective preparation for inspection.
