Ofsted has confirmed some of the most significant changes to the inspection of education in its history, following an extensive programme of public consultation.
Alongside the changes to inspection, Ofsted is making significant changes to the way it contracts with, trains and manages inspectors.
Setting out the reforms, Ofsted’s National Director of Schools, Sean Harford, said that frequent but shorter inspections of good schools and further education and skills providers, introducing a common inspection framework to standardise the approach to all education inspections, and inspecting all non-association independent schools in the next three years will contribute to driving up educational standards across the country.
National Early Years Teacher Day is back on Wednesday, April 17th and it's a fantastic opportunity to shower our incredible Early Years Teachers with appreciation for the magic they bring to young lives.
We recognise the vital role Mentors play in the success of the Early Career Framework. To celebrate their dedication and contributions to the programme, we have launched 'Mentor of the Month'. This months winner is Mark Richards from the Marches School.
