A practical inspection readiness handbook for senior leaders, middle leaders and teachers, written against Ofsted’s current framework and its seven evaluation areas.

Built on a simple premise: schools that perform for inspection do worse than schools that can evidence what they already do. Ofsted states plainly that it does not need leaders to produce documents specifically for an inspection — this book takes that seriously and builds one evidence base that serves every inspection you face.

WHAT’S INSIDE
• 61 pages, professionally typeset for print
• What Ofsted says it does not want, quoted directly
• Say this, not that — with an inspector, and with your staff
• The week of the call, hour by hour
• A teacher’s inspection page, for the corridor conversation
• The evidence register, a self-evaluation one-pager and conversation preparation
• Governance that can answer
• When it isn’t what you hoped

Covers Ofsted, ISI and SIAMS, and the separate safeguarding judgement that can override everything else.

Written for the school that wants to be ready rather than rehearsed.
