This course will explain the new OfSTED framework, to be introduced from January 2012, in order to help you plan for your next inspection. Using the latest information available, it will give you a clear understanding of the framework, its key points and advice on how to prepare fully for the next visit of inspectors.

There will be an emphasis on the key aspects of the school inspected by OfSTED - achievement, teaching, pupil behaviour, safety, leadership and management. In particular, it will focus on how lessons will be graded using the four point scale and the tutor will also provide clear advice on how to self-evaluate using the New Inspection Framework.
