The Education Inspection Framework (EIF), which comes into force in September, has been published today (14 April) alongside a report on responses to the public three-month consultation, and sector-specific handbooks for early years, schools and further education and skills providers.
The inspectorate said its consultation had received the biggest response in its history with more than 15,000 responses.
Ofsted said the framework, which covers providers from childminders to adult education, is the result of two years’ work, including research on the curriculum and ‘road-testing’ across all the age ranges.
By September, 250 pilot inspections of the new framework will have taken place in early years providers, schools and further education and skills providers. Ofsted has also held events in every region.
