EDUCATION WEBINAR
Preparing for Ofsted – is your curriculum ready?
In this live discussion, our expert panel outlined how school leaders, and curriculum or subject leaders from Primary and Secondary schools and MATs can be Ofsted-ready at their institutions.
We discussed:
- Ofsted’s quality of education judgement: curriculum intent, implementation and impact
- Ofsted’s deep dive methodology and what it means for schools
- What are the common challenges that schools and MATs are facing when it comes to curriculum design and delivery?
- The impact an inspection can have for staff across the school
- What the process of creating a coherent, sequential curriculum in preparation for inspection actually looks like for leaders now
Are you ready for an Ofsted Inspection’s Deep Dive into reading, writing or foundation subjects in your school? If not, Juniper’s educational advisers have courses ready to prepare SLT and subject leaders.
