Top tips to help you prepare for an Ofsted inspection

OVERVIEW

 
 

Get some really handy tips and hints on how you can best prepare for an Ofsted inspection.

Ofsted is now back in ‘full swing’ with inspections of current ‘outstanding’, ‘good’ and ‘requires improvement’ FE providers as well as New Provider Monitoring Visits (NPMVs)  or first full graded inspection for new providers. 

This webinar will provide you with lots of handy tips and hints to help you best prepare for an inspection and to show yourself in the best possible light during the actual inspection itself. 

The webinar will be interactive to enable delegates to contribute their own ideas and share good practice from their experiences of previous Ofsted inspections. 
 

Objectives

This webinar will help delegates to understand:

  • How you can best prepare in advance of receiving notification from Ofsted of your inspection. 
  • What inspectors will be most interested in evaluating when they look at your provision and the most common pitfalls for providers. 
  • How to develop a good working relationship with the lead inspector during the planning meeting call once your inspection is announced. 
  • How to ensure inspectors see the parts of your provision you are most proud of. 
  • What you can do between the planning meeting, telephone call and the inspection itself to make sure you are ready. 
  • How best to represent your organisation during the inspection itself and ways in which you can react most effectively to inspectors’ emerging judgements.
