Ofsted has today published 3 additional recordings of school
inspector training materials, following on from the first
collection published earlier this term.
Today's videos feature sessions from the autumn 2024 conference
for school inspectors, including:
- strong foundations – focusing on the importance
of foundational knowledge
- changes to ungraded inspections
- changes to ungraded inspections for lead inspectors
The recordings have been published through the Ofsted Academy as
part of Ofsted's ongoing commitment to being an open and
transparent organisation.
Recordings of training for inspectors working in the other areas
that Ofsted inspects and regulates will be published in the new
year.
Matthew Purves, Director of the Ofsted Academy, said:
I'm delighted to demonstrate our continuing commitment to
openness and transparency by publishing this second collection of
training materials for our school inspectors.
By opening up to those we inspect and regulate, we hope we can
eliminate some of the mysteries around Ofsted. We want to ensure
our training is published in detail and in context, so that
anyone who wants to can see how we work.
The training materials are published on a free-to-access external
platform.

Where applicable, the training is recorded ‘as live' and designed
for inspectors. Ofsted regularly hosts webinars for professionals
working in the sectors we inspect and regulate. These can be
found on our YouTube channel.
