Primary teachers’ experiences of inspection: Beyond Ofsted inquiry findings

Watch the recording

Ofsted has come under increased scrutiny in the last year in the wake of the tragic death of primary headteacher Ruth Perry. The Beyond Ofsted Inquiry (funded by NEU) surveyed key stakeholders’ views of Ofsted and the potential for reform, involving focus groups with teachers, headteachers, governors and parents.

In this seminar, speakers will present data exploring the inspection experience for primary teachers and leaders, and will conclude with an outline of the recommended model for a new inspection system and its benefits for primary schools.
