Our Inspection briefings are half-termly online sessions run by Inspection specialist, Tim Nelson, designed to inform headteachers and deputy headteachers of the latest messages from Ofsted. These are highly relevant and up-to-date, informed by the latest training for inspectors, as well as feedback and first-hand experience from schools that have recently been inspected. With Focus Education working with schools across the whole of England we can draw upon a wide range of best practice and advice, condensing this into concise and meaningful updates for busy senior leaders. Each half-termly session runs for 30 to 60 minutes depending on content and all material is shared as a handout.
These sessions are accessed via Teams.
Following feedback from delegates attending our highly popular Headteacher Inspection Training courses, many requested ongoing updates about developments in the inspection process, along with opportunities to learn from best practice in schools that have recently been inspected. In response, we are pleased to continue offering this valued service throughout the current academic year and into the next.

In response to feedback from delegates who have attended our online courses, the course content is delivered mainly through explanation and a didactic approach by the course leader. There are opportunities throughout the courses for delegates to ask questions, contribute ideas and share opinions. Course leaders will respond to any comments in ‘Chat’ throughout the course. We realise that some delegates prefer a more activity-based approach to CPD, with tasks and directed Q&A sessions, but the large majority of our attendees prefer the former type of delivery. We are also aware that this normally better suits the training we are providing e.g. briefings about Ofsted. Please be aware of this when considering booking. Thank you.
