What you REALLY need to know – whether you are expecting a graded or ungraded inspection!
This course provides school leaders, governors, and educators with the insights, tools, and strategies needed to prepare for the latest OFSTED inspections confidently. Drawing on findings from inspections I have supported directly, it focuses on the key shift in OFSTED’s lens towards outcomes over intent, empowering schools to demonstrate real impact across all areas.

Excellent training, up to date, relevant and pitched perfectly. Great hints and tips and thoughtful guidance for school leaders. Will definitely be recommending this course to other school leaders.
A brilliant course that gives you all of the stepping stones to being prepared for Ofsted. Highly recommend John as he is engaging, dynamic and realistic. I will certainly use his expertise again!
The course was excellent, the quality of resources and delivery was outstanding and relevant to secondary (something I was worried may not be the case). The balance also of conversation between participants was excellent. John was very efficient also in sending all relevant resources. Thank you.
