Curriculum, teaching and achievement under a renewed EIF: what might the proposed changes mean for leaders of curriculum and teaching
Tim Jenner, Senior HMI and Curriculum Lead, Ofsted
Following a public consultation, Ofsted is proposing changes to inspections of state-funded schools which are likely to be implemented from Autumn 2025. The proposed changes place a stronger emphasis on inclusion, whilst retaining the important focus on curriculum and teaching from the EIF. Inspections under this renewed framework will look and feel different. In this session, Tim Jenner will explore how inspectors will gather evidence about curriculum, teaching and achievement under this renewed approach, including how inspectors will work with senior leaders responsible for these aspects of a school’s provision to understand the impact of their work. |
