These termly briefings aim to deepen the knowledge and understanding of headteachers and chairs of governors in respect of the current Ofsted inspection framework. The sessions are particularly targeted at schools who are likely to be inspected within the next 6 to 9 months. 

A senior leader and chair of governors are invited to attend but do not need to book a place. Headteachers who have booked a place will receive the course details, which they should share.  

The course price entitles a school to three places at the briefing (the headteacher, senior leader and chair of governors).
