Navigating the Culture of Ofsted: Empowering Governance Amidst Change
Earlier this year, 51% of you identified Ofsted as the single most significant factor shaping practice within your school or trust. Since then, new proposals and changes to the inspection process have, understandably, caused much confusion. Against the current backdrop, understanding the broader cultural context of Ofsted’s role in education is important now more than ever.
We will discuss:
- The current state of play, which will include a brief overview of proposals and recent changes, and what they mean for your school or trust.
- The ways schools and trusts may focus on long-term school improvement, not just inspection readiness
- How boards may be empowered to fulfil their role as the first line of accountabilityÂ
