To what extent do you agree or disagree with the proposal to introduce a ‘quality of education’ judgement?
This is the key change in the new Framework. It means schools will have to be clear on their answers to 3 questions:                                           1) What are you trying to achieve through your curriculum? (Intent)                                                                                                                2) How is your curriculum being delivered? (Implementation)                                                                                                                           3)What difference is your curriculum making? (Impact).

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the proposed separation of inspection judgements about learners’ personal development and learners’ behaviour and attitudes?
Ofsted proposes to judge ‘personal development’ separately from ‘behaviour and attitudes’ to enhance the inspection focus on each and enable clearer reporting on both. The inspectorate says the behaviour and the attitudes learners of all ages bring to learning is best evaluated and judged separately from the provision made to promote learners’ wider personal development, character and resilience.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the proposed focus of section 8 inspections of good schools and non-exempt outstanding schools and the proposal to increase the length of these inspections from the current one day to two days?
Currently, section 8 inspections of good schools (or ‘short inspections’) last for one day. Ofsted says it wants to ensure  there is opportunity to gather sufficient evidence while on inspection to confirm that a school remains good under the new criteria. The inspectorate is therefore proposing to increase the time for which the lead inspector is on site to two days.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the proposed introduction of on-site preparation for all section 5 inspections, and for section 8 inspections of good schools, on the afternoon prior to the inspection?
Ofsted is proposing to provide formal notification of inspection no later than 10am on the day before the inspection. It proposes that the lead inspector will arrive on site no earlier than 12.30pm on that day. It says the lead inspector will use this time to talk with senior leaders in order to gain an overview of the school’s recent performance and any changes since the last inspection.
Additional Comments
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the proposal not to look at non-statutory internal progress and attainment data and our reasons why?
Ofsted is proposing that inspectors not use schools’ internal performance data for current pupils as evidence during an inspection. This is because of concerns around accuracy, workload and the new focus on quality of curriculum. Inspectors will, however, ask schools to explain why they have decided to collect whatever assessment information they collect, what they are drawing from this information and how that informs their curriculum and teaching.
