After Ofsted inspection this year, Josephine Smith’s school was judged ‘outstanding’ in all categories. Across five articles and five categories, she sets out the steps her team took to achieve this. Next up is Leadership and Management

In this series of short articles, I am detailing the steps that we have taken to move our school from “overall good” to “outstanding” in all five categories (including Sixth Form Provision) after our inspection in November.

The inspection framework will be changing in September but while we have had a glimpse of the Ofsted Report Card proposals, the reality is that many schools will still be inspected this year under the current framework.

And of course much of what we know already about how schools are judged will also be relevant under the new framework, even if the terminology and the categories may change.
