ExploreNew Ofsted Framework Training for Staff
Ofsted’s renewed framework has changed inspection significantly, with report cards, a five-point grading scale, and new evaluation areas. Staff at every level need to understand what’s changed and what it means for them. This training brings your whole team up to speed on the new framework, calmly and clearly.
Below, we explain what our new Ofsted framework training involves, and how it helps your staff feel confident and prepared.
What Is New Ofsted Framework Training for Staff?
It’s practical training that helps all staff understand the renewed Ofsted framework and what it means for them. We cover the report cards, the five-point grading scale, the core evaluation areas, and how inspection now works in practice, without adding to workload or creating false anxiety.
We focus on genuine understanding rather than inspection theatre, and tailor it to your setting and phase.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, leadership teams, and all staff. Trusts often run it across schools so everyone shares the same understanding.
Many schools ask for it to prepare staff for the renewed framework, reduce inspection anxiety, or make sure everyone understands the changes.
