Ofsted inspection framework: new evaluation template available

Since Ofsted published its new inspection framework last month, we have been working with former HMIs to create a new whole-school evaluation that aligns with the changes.

Our new evaluation reflects the expanded evaluation areas, the new 5-point grading scale (as well as met/not met statements for safeguarding) and the stronger focus on inclusion. 

Alongside the new whole-school evaluation, our existing inclusion-package offers a suite of discrete evaluation templates focused on ensuring the strongest provision in key areas such as SEND, disadvantaged, EAL, effective use of teaching assistants and specialist provision.

The new whole-school evaluation is now available as a template for existing ‘EMS Unlimited’ users (look for ‘Ofsted new framework‘). If you are new to EMS or interested in using this evaluation within your school or group of schools to support inspection readiness under the new framework, contact info@evaluatemyschool.co.uk for more information.

New case study out now!

We are delighted to share our latest case study, which explores how Oxfordshire’s SEND team is using EMS to drive school improvement. In this case study, Jane Elvidge, Lead Officer in Oxfordshire’s SEND Strategic Early Intervention Team, explains how her team has used EMS to streamline self-evaluation, analyse trends and identify common areas for development across settings.
