New Ofsted: National trends and lived reality
10 December 2026
The webinar will:
- Share SSAT’s insights from our inspection tracker on how the Framework is being applied by inspection teams, noting how this has evolved since the start of the 2026/27 academic year.
- Show Teacher Tapp’s national insights on how the Framework is being received, alongside their School Surveys findings about parent, pupil and staff voice in this context.
Together, we believe that this approach will offer delegates unparalleled insights into the new Ofsted framework one year into its existence.
What will this webinar cover?
- Setting the scene: Ways in which the new framework does (and doesn’t) mark a radical shift from what came before.
- Reception and perception: How the new framework is being experienced and whether, or not, it is more, or less, fair.
- The framework in action: How school leaders are adapting to the new framework and what more they could be doing.
- Questions and answers: An opportunity for delegates to respond, query, challenge and suggest their thoughts.
Who is this webinar for?
- School leaders
- Trust leaders
- Governors
- School improvement partners
