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 by the end of the summer term 2024.

There will be opportunities to review information relating to the latest national and local inspection trends and patterns, and to consider implications for their own school. Additional input will be provided by Headteachers of schools that have been recently inspected under the current framework (2019) and members of the Primary Phase Inspector team who support schools through the process.

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).
