Venue: Online

Synopsis: With a focus on the quality of your school curriculum this two-part course will look at how judgements will be informed through the evidence available in your school. Guiding you through questions and lines of enquiry this workshop will help you feel prepared and ready to articulate your approach with clarity and confidence.

Details:

Ofsted deep dives are a key part of the new Ofsted Inspection Framework’s curriculum focus. An Ofsted inspection of any school, primary or secondary, will now include ‘deep dives’ into particular subjects or areas (e.g. maths or EYFS) which Ofsted will choose and inform you of prior to the inspection.

An Ofsted deep dive is an in-depth examination of a subject by inspectors. It is part of the inspector’s requirement to monitor quality of education and the curriculum.

According to Ofsted, the intent behind a deep dive is to “establish a coherent base on quality of education”; so multiple deep dives will give inspectors a connected sample of lessons with which to establish a clearer idea of the overall teaching quality of the school.

Join us for this workshop to ensure that to you are ready for Ofsted deep dives during your next inspection.
