Page 8 - Preparing for an Ofsted Inspection

Ofsted will no longer using schools’ internal performance
data as inspection evidence, to ensure inspection does not
create unnecessary work for teachers.

Instead, inspectors will be tasked with gathering “direct
evidence” on the quality of education, and hold
“meaningful discussions with leaders about how they know
that the curriculum is having an effect”.

However, inspectors will ask schools to explain why they
collect the data they do, what they draw from it and how
it informs their curriculum and teaching.
