This three-day course will equip primary school leaders with the knowledge to enable you to prepare your school or academy for inspection from November 2025 onwards.
By attending this training Senior Leaders in primary age range schools will gain an understanding of the new framework, toolkit, report card, and training undertaken by inspectors which will enable you to plan for and manage an inspection within your setting.
(Note: If leaders of Special Schools wish to attend, just let us know and the course leader will include additional specific information relevant to Special School inspection.)
Learn how inspectors evaluate the evidence to secure a judgement, looking in-depth at:
• Each section of the new report card
• How evidence is gathered
• Implications for leaders at all levels to ensure they are best prepared
Over the three days, you will gain an understanding of the following:
• The ‘big picture’ of the new inspection framework and the implications for self-evaluation
• Feedback from the pilot inspections
• The key messages from inspector training on how to implement the new framework in schools
• How evidence will be evaluated by inspectors to inform the report card
• The role of leaders, including governors, in the inspection process

It was up to date and current and detailed. Very relevant. Trainer was very knowledgeable.
Tim was great - he held our attention and his anecdotes and examples put everything into context. Going through the framework and the inspection process will really help me in my conversations with other heads and especially as I may be going back into headship sometime myself.
Training delivered by Tim Nelson to our groups of schools - extremely well received and very beneficial for HTs/SLT.
