Ofsted has announced a number of changes to inspections for schools in the Summer term - it will carry out some lighter touch inspections, with a return to graded inspections in the Autumn term
The changes include
- Ofsted will look at how the curriculum has been adapted and prioritised from September 2020
- It will not use teacher assessed grades from 2020 or 2021, but will consider externally published data, whilst being mindful of the age of it
- Ofsted says that inspectors will seek to understand how leaders supported the community throughout the pandemic
- Inspectors will also look at how the school ensured the best possible attendance for those pupils eligible to attend in person
- The impact of the pandemic cannot be the sole factor in an inadequate judgement
- Ofsted will be 'sympathetic' on schools' progress in implementing relationships education
- If inspectors are prevented from speaking to pupils during an inspection, safeguarding will be judged as ineffective
