Overview

Ofsted Short Notice Inspections may be a daunting prospect. However, by knowing exactly how to plan in advance it is possible to be better prepared. Designed for provider organisations, this workshop will offer clear guidance from Ofsted on what to expect during an inspection, provide a checklist of what is achievable now even before the call and will also give advice on how to move forward with planning once a notice of inspection has been received.

Workshop attendees will:
  • Understand how Ofsted inspects teaching, learning and assessment
  • Hear from two Ofsted HMIs who will outline the current ‘hot topics’ on inspection
  • Learn how to plan and manage a short notice inspection
  • Benefit from a provider’s recent inspection experience
  • Develop a 48 hour short notice inspection action plan on how to proceed once a notification of inspection is received
