Ofsted has announced changes to school inspections. Improvements include revised inspection processes, changes to the complaints procedure, and new government investment in wellbeing. #Ofsted #Education
Schools graded inadequate due to ineffective safeguarding will see a quicker return from inspectors. This aims to facilitate quick improvements and increase the potential for a higher overall grade. #OfstedChanges #SchoolInspections
Ofsted's complaints process will become more transparent, facilitating schools in raising concerns. A consultation is launched today with proposals aimed at accelerating the resolution process. #Transparency
The Department for Education is increasing its funding to Education Support, with an aim to support an additional 500 school leaders by March 2024. #Wellbeing #EducationSupport
Schools will receive more information on when to expect their next inspection. The provisionality of inspection outcomes until finalisation will be emphasised, increasing transparency in the process. #Ofsted #InspectionTiming
From September, inspection reports will refer to 'the school', rather than individuals. This adjustment to language use in reports is aimed at depersonalising criticisms. #Ofsted #InspectionReports
Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman stated the focus on children's education and wellbeing will be maintained in inspections, amidst these changes. #AmandaSpielman
