ASCL North West summer

conference

Chris Russell

Regional Director

8 July 2015

What’s happened since September?

Common Inspection Framework - a reminder

Comparability across schools, non-association independent schools, further education and skills providers and registered early years providers

Four graded judgements across all remits

leadership and management

teaching, learning and assessment

personal development, behaviour and welfare

outcomes for children and learners

and emphasis on safeguarding and curriculum

Short inspections – a reminder

A different kind of inspection

Strong focus on dialogue

Two judgements:

is the school continuing to be good;

is safeguarding effective?

When do we convert?

A short inspection will not change any of the graded judgements, nor the overall effectiveness grade

About every three years

Changes to the way we work

Direct contracting /changes to inspection workforce

Total control over sourcing, training, contracting and oversight of wider inspection workforce

Tighter selection criteria for inspectors

Increasing the proportion of inspectors that are current practitioners

Much closer links between contracted Ofsted Inspectors (OI) and Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI)

Number of schools OIs in the North West is 127

76 primary and 32 secondary; additionally 19 cover both primary and secondary

55% are serving practitioners
