We've already commented on the New Inspection Framework pilot findings twice (here & here) but this week the TES published an article focusing on comments regarding the proposed Ofsted staff survey.

As we've already said, forewarned is forearmed. If you have already undertaken a more detailed survey, you will have the luxury of time to consider any weaknesses well in advance of Ofsted, and possibly even have time to put action plans in place to address them. As a minimum, you might gain more rounded and detailed information which will be useful to address any concerns from Ofsted.
