Synopsis

This inspection toolkit is based on statutory duties and non-statutory guidance, professional standards, research and inspection evidence. We will update it as required, usually on an annual basis, to reflect any changes.

Inspections focus on the impact of the systems and processes that leaders use to support the continuous improvement and effective running of the school. Inspectors collect first-hand evidence of how the school typically operates, mainly through professional conversations and observing, often alongside leaders, the day-to-day work of the school.
Inspectors are required to view specific documentation. This should be limited to documents relating to the school's statutory requirements or documents that it produces as part of its normal business processes. Inspectors do not need information to be presented in any specific format, as long as it is easily accessible.

We do not need leaders to produce documents specifically for an Ofsted inspection of their school. This would create unnecessary workload. Inspectors will be proportionate in weighing up the evidence they gather, balancing the extent of any strengths or areas for development in each of the evaluation areas. This will support grading and allow specific features of practice, whether strengths or areas for development, to be reported clearly.
