Understanding the new Ofsted framework
Relevant to Governors and Senior Leaders.
Description
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 will look at familiarity with the Ofsted framework and the inspection toolkit to support leaders and Governors in effective preparation for inspection.
