Ofsted: Framework and handbook

Please click on this link for details of the new OfSTED ITE inspection framework and handbook.

Key points include:

1. Inspections will take place in a single four day visit in the Spring and Summer terms, with three days’ notice
2. A distinction is drawn between formative and summative assessment
3. A transition statement (page 38 of the handbook, under ‘good’ ) to recognise that new curricula may not have been fully implemented because of Covid 19.
