Ofsted INSET: Outstanding Implementation of T&L

“Lots of new ideas to try out and great discussions ” #alwayslearning
Highcliffe School Learning & Teaching Steering Group ( via Twitter)

Will your school achieve or maintain Outstanding in Quality of Education ?

The single biggest contributory factor to a pupil’s attainment and progress is the quality of teaching; this is even more marked for disadvantaged and vulnerable students (double the effect size) so the continued improvement of the implementation of teaching and learning in schools must be our number one priority.

What does outstanding implementation look like?

‘ Ofsted’s focus moves away from headline data to look instead at how schools are achieving these results, and whether they are offering a curriculum that is broad, rich and deep, or simply teaching to the test’
