This was really useful was much appreciated. We introduced assessments every half term in every subject which was tough on staff and children but gave us the information we needed to spot problems and to intervene quickly. Our teacher training has always been good but as with everything else in an NTI situation we pulled the continued professional development programme apart and started to look again at what we were doing.
We introduced coaching for all teachers and trained them all to be coaches. Our teaching and learning team gained a new status and really took control of the training and involved lots of colleagues in it. A lot of work was done around CPD that was valued by all staff and did make a big difference. The HMI this time was fair but was, I felt, a little hesitant to judge us as anything other than satisfactory. In any event we were just delighted to be out of a NTI.
What a party we had — it would have been judged as outstanding. We have recently been inspected again and were judged to be a 'good' school once more. The report reflects our school which considering the limitations of the framework, is something! Our experience this time around was vastly different from the terrible experience in The visits did have one thing in common — rotten timing.
Inspectors came this time as our governors were in the process of appointing my successor. The phone call came on Wednesday morning at 12 on the dot. I was out but we were well prepared and my deputy had all the information on hand to go through the Ofsted script. I was back in school by the time she got through going through this about an hour and was able to talk to the lead inspector myself. We then did what every other school does and met with staff, told the kids and parents and stayed until 9pm.
There was great excitement in the air and everybody was pleased that Ofsted were coming. This was because they had been waiting so long they wanted to get it over and done with and also because they were feeling confident and proud of their school. It will take only 2 minutes to fill in.

Inspections will last anywhere between one day for a short inspection, and three to four days for a full inspection. Schools will be inspected by a different number of inspectors based on their size and type e. Once the inspection has been completed, the inspectors will write up an inspection report of their findings, including the overall rating the school will receive.
Schools are usually sent a draft copy of the report so they can give feedback — mostly about whether there are any factual errors e. The full report will be published within 28 days of the inspection taking place for anyone to read. Looking for more information about Ofsted inspections or the primary school system in general?

What are the Ofsted ratings? Ofsted Grade 1: Outstanding 2. Ofsted Grade 2: Good 3. Ofsted Grade 3: Requires Improvement 4. Special Measures Schools How many schools receive each Ofsted rating? What are the four Ofsted categories? The school is inspected again, under section 5, within a period of 30 months. If a school has been judged as requires improvement at 2 successive inspections, it will be subject to monitoring from inspectors to check its progress.
We will inspect it again under section 5 within a period of 30 months of the publication of the previous section 5 report. When we judge a school as inadequate, we place the school in a category of concern. This means that we judge the school either to have serious weaknesses or to require special measures. The Secretary of State for Education will issue an academy order to a maintained school judged inadequate and placed in a category of concern.
The school will then become a sponsored academy. We will not usually monitor the school unless there are safeguarding concerns or there is a delay in the school becoming a sponsored academy. If an academy is judged inadequate and placed in a category of concern, we will monitor the school.
If an academy is judged inadequate and is rebrokered to a new multi-academy trust to become a new sponsored academy, we will not usually carry out any monitoring inspections. If an academy is judged as having serious weaknesses or requiring special measures, and if it is not rebrokered to a new multi-academy trust, we will monitor the school to check its progress.
If a maintained nursery school or a non-maintained special school that we inspect under section 5 is judged inadequate, we will monitor it in the same way as an academy judged as inadequate that is not re-brokered to a new sponsor trust.
We will normally notify the school of its inspection between We can inspect any school without notice, if judged appropriate. In these cases, the lead inspector will normally telephone the school about 15 minutes before arriving. We provide schools with a letter to tell all parents of pupils at the school about the inspection and options for providing their views. We also ask schools to notify other relevant bodies, including those providing alternative provision for pupils, of the inspection.
This leaflet lists the information and documents that inspectors will need to see before and during the inspection. You will need to submit some of this information through the provider portal.
Inspectors will look at Ofsted Parent View to see the views of parents. Inspectors will also take into account the results of any past parent surveys, or other surveys, carried out by the school. The inspection will normally last 2 full days.
Inspections of good primary schools and good or outstanding maintained nursery schools with less than pupils will normally last for 1 day. The number of inspectors on the inspection team will vary according to the size and nature of the school. Inspectors will spend most of their time observing lessons and gathering evidence to inform their judgements.
Inspectors will make their final judgements when they have collected and considered all the evidence. The lead inspector will meet the headteacher regularly throughout the inspection and will ensure that the headteacher and senior staff:. Inspectors will also invite the headteacher to attend the final team meeting at the end of the inspection. Our approach to inspection will take into account the COVID pandemic and the disruption it has caused to schools.
Inspectors will discuss the impact of the pandemic with the school, including how the school leadership responded to the situation, and will take that into account in their assessment of the school.
