Ofsted Inspection Readiness School Workshops

Evidence-Informed Approaches to Strengthen Leadership, Curriculum, and Inspection Confidence

Preparing for Ofsted requires confident leadership, a coherent curriculum, and clarity about what high-quality provision looks like in practice. Our Ofsted Inspection Readiness INSET and mentoring programmes equip leaders and staff with the knowledge, frameworks, and practical strategies needed to demonstrate excellence under the 2025/26 Ofsted Framework. These courses focus on strengthening curriculum intent, implementation, and impact; deepening subject leadership expertise; improving teaching and assessment practice; and ensuring leaders can clearly articulate school priorities and pupil outcomes. Staff also learn how to manage inspection conversations, present evidence effectively, and build a whole-school culture of continuous improvement. Whether schools require leadership mentoring, subject leader support, or full-team preparation, these programmes ensure greater confidence and readiness for inspection.
