About the Webinar
This webinar will help subject leads, school leaders and governors to understand what to expect from an Ofsted ‘deep dive’ and how schools can best prepare themselves.
The new Ofsted ‘Inspecting the curriculum’ guidance states that as part of a ‘deep dive’ Ofsted will:
- Gather evidence on the curriculum intent, implementation and impact over a sample of subjects, topics or aspects in collaboration with leaders, teachers and pupils.
- Use a ‘deep dive’ to seek to interrogate and establish a coherent evidence base on quality of education.
- Sample other areas of education within the school to probe questions that have emerged as a result of the deep-dive work
With the new Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (EIF) now firmly in place, Maggie Parker, looks at the key questions around ‘deep dives’ and the responsibilities which fall on subject and senior leaders.
