As we are now in November, education organisations are focusing on monitoring classroom practices—a crucial step in driving meaningful improvement across the school. The primary goal of this process is to collect valuable information that will guide professional development and enhance teaching and learning outcomes. With iP, you have a powerful tool to streamline this monitoring process, ensuring that the data you gather is insightful and actionable. Whether through learning walks, classroom observations, or performance tracking, iP can help you manage the journey toward excellence in education.
In autumn 2024, Ofsted made key changes to ungraded school inspections to streamline the process and increase collaboration with school leaders. The traditional “deep dives” have been replaced with “areas of focus,” allowing inspectors to assess subject groups, easing the workload on individual subject leaders. The process begins with an initial planning call, where inspectors and school leaders jointly determine inspection priorities. Inspectors will engage in regular dialogue with school leadership to encourage transparency and make assessments more relevant to each school’s context.
