Preparing for Ofsted

Resources to support the Education Inspection Framework (EIF)

Ofsted has helpful resources on their Education Inspection Framework. These include:

• a guide for maintained and academy schools.
• the school inspection handbook.
• guidance for schools on how inspectors will be inspecting the curriculum.
• videos on curriculum and the EIF.
• Presentations on the EIF and deep dives on the Ofsted News SlideShare website.

We wrote a document to help prepare for the 90-minute phone conversation.

Read, review and use the document alongside the school inspection handbook. The document refers to paragraphs in the Ofsted Inspection Handbook.
