Changes to education inspections from September 2015
The new Ofsted Common Inspection Framework comes into effect in September.
The key changes cover:
- Outstanding schools and academies will not be inspected unless an issue of concern is raised or complaint made.
- Good schools and academies will be inspected once every three years and inspectors start from the premise that they remain good.
- The inspection will be shorter, one day and only go to a second day if there is insufficient evidence to make a judgement. Judgement focuses on:
- effective safeguarding
- effectiveness of leadership and management
- quality of teaching, learning and assessment
- personal development, behaviour and welfare
- outcomes for children and learners
These changes will need to quickly feed through to the performance objectives agreed with your senior leaders.
