Ofsted: Learning from recent inspections (secondary)

A practical webinar for secondary leaders

Ofsted's approach continues to evolve and there's no substitute for hearing directly from leaders who've been through it recently.

Join us for this hour-long session where we'll unpack this year's annual updates to the inspection framework and the key issues leaders need to be aware of right now. You'll then hear from three secondary leaders, each sharing candid reflections from their own recent inspection experience; what surprised them, what they'd do differently, and what they wish they'd known beforehand.
