Improving the way Ofsted inspects education - online focus group
- Online
- 03 Apr 2025 (16:00 - 17:00)
nasen will submit a response to Ofsted's consultation (closing date: 28 April) and are inviting members to join us at this online focus group to share their views, so we might better represent them.
Event is open to all, we would especially like to hear from SENCOs.
Full details of the consultation - and a link for individual responses - can be found on the DfE website
For the purposes of our focus group, we are particularly interested in members' responses to the following questions:
- Give your thoughts on the working definition of an inclusive provider.
- What features of good practice would you expect an inclusive setting to demonstrate?
- What should be done to help reduce or manage any unintended consequences of changes to inspection?
- What do you think about including data alongside report cards, for example information about how well children and learners achieve?
- What do you think of the proposed 5-point scale for reporting our inspection findings? (the scale ranges from 'causing concern' to 'exemplary')
- Name two metrics that you feel would be important for inspectors to measure, and tell us why they are important to include.
