Revised Guidance Re:Ofsted Inspection Notification
At the time of the recent briefing to Headteachers and Chairs of Governors on the new Ofsted Framework (Sept 2012) the advice provided on the notice to be given re an Ofsted inspection was based on the guidance provided at the beginning of September 2012.
However, Ofsted has now issued further guidance, in its document reference 120303 ‘Inspections where Ofsted is unable to contact the school the day before’. All schools should read this document as it makes it clear if direct phone contact can not be made then - a message can be left on the school answerphone and an email message sent. Full details are on the attached Ofsted document.
