Ofsted Inspection Framework (from September 2019)

Summary:

  • revised framework to focus inspection on what children learn through the curriculum, rather than over-reliance on performance data 
  • proposals will call time on the culture of ‘teaching to the test’ and off-rolling 
  • new separate behaviour judgement to give parents reassurance that behaviour is good 
  • most evidence-based, research-informed and tested framework in Ofsted’s 26-year history
