Ofsted Update New Common Inspection Framework

New inspection arrangements short ‘good’ inspections – section 8 From September, Ofsted will inspect good schools once every three years under a new short inspection model.  led by HMI for all secondary and large primaries  notification period the same as section 5  Parent View used to gather views  will not result in individual grade judgement  will be converted to section 5 if inspector is unsure if still good or could be outstanding (within 48 hours)  once had a short inspection, further short inspections at approximately 3 yearly intervals

Reporting on the short inspection  report in a letter format  judgement that the school is still providing a good standard of education  Judgement that safeguarding arrangements are effective  any next steps the school should take

Section 5 Key judgements:  overall effectiveness  effectiveness of leadership and management  quality of teaching, learning and assessment  personal development, behaviour and welfare  outcomes for pupils 1 – 4 point scale as now
