What usually happens on the second day of an OFSTED inspection?

Question

We have had observations all day today in the Foundation Stage, KS1 and KS2.

Interviews have taken place with the Senior Leadership Team and the Learning Mentor.

What will happen tomorrow?

Thank You

Answer 1

The inspectors will have made some judgements about the school on the first day and will be using the answers to the questions given by SLT and the learning mentors to plan lesson observations in the school again for day 2.  I would also imagine that they will want to talk to subject leaders to discuss planning and results.  There will definitely be more lesson observations.  If it is a two day inspetion then the afternoon will be spent formulating their basic report.  Students whould be asked their opinions and will probably have a chat with the inspectors. If it is a 3 day inspection then this will happen on the last day and more lesson observations will happen.
