Overview

With Ofsted well underway with their plans to inspect every further education institution by summer 2025, there has never been a more important time to understand how Ofsted looks at things, its latest thinking, and where its concerns lie. 

That’s why our ‘A Day with Ofsted’ event is designed to support you in your organisation’s bid to navigate the inspection process. As with previous years, this year’s ‘A Day with Ofsted’ includes an overview of the Chief Inspector's Annual Report delivered by Paul Joyce, HMI, Deputy Director for Further Education and Skills, followed by a range of informative sessions from respected and recognisable specialist advisors.
