This webinar will provide headteachers, subject leads and teachers with an understanding of and guidance on what is considered during an Ofsted reading deep dive and how to encourage pupil engagement.

Ofsted have made reading deep dives mandatory as part of the Education Inspection Framework. The Ofsted School Inspection Handbook states that inspectors will ‘focus on how well pupils are taught to read as a main inspection activity’ and pay particular attention to ‘pupils who are reading below age-related expectations’. They will focus inspections on the 7 aspects of early reading.

In this webinar, experienced literacy and learning expert, senior lecturer, English lead and former teacher, Emma Rogers, explores what Ofsted expectations are for the reading curriculum in primary years and how schools can build a culture of reading for pleasure and support pupil development.
