HOW EFFECTIVE IS YOUR SIXTH FORM?
PREPARING FOR THE NEW OFSTED FRAMEWORK
From September 2009 school Sixth Forms will be inspected using a more rigorous framework. This course, led by an experienced, practising inspector, aims to help you understand this new framework and be able to effectively assess your Sixth Form’s strengths and weaknesses. As a result you will be both well prepared for inspection and well equipped to provide the continuous improvement required of all managers.

At the end of the event participants will be able to:
- Understand the new Ofsted Inspection Framework and how it differs from the old
