1 day’s notice for an Ofsted inspection
With just one day’s notice of an inspection, it’s important that schools are in a constant state of readiness. This means ensuring that people are prepared, progress against school improvement goals is being evaluated, and documentation is in place, aligned with Ofsted expectations.
21 information items needed for inspection
Ofsted’s list of information required before and during an inspection includes strategic documents on school improvement planning which may include the school’s performance management and professional development priorities.
30 key areas of governor action
Governors are required to demonstrate their effectiveness in a range of areas, for example, by providing audit trails for statutory policies and training, and evidencing performance management monitoring and evaluation, linked to improvement goals.

Loved by schools & educators.
There’s such a broad array of training opportunities, that we don’t need to go hunting for training externally. The content is really current and the feedback I get from staff is that it offers value to them. The whole package just works on every level for us.
