AnonyMouse_38881 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Hi! I have seen various links across the forum to Ofsted inspections and the new EYFS but can't find anything related to Ofsted and the new EYFS in maintained settings. I assumed that the new EYFS would impact on school inspections too, especially with the Safeguarding updates. Can anyone point me in the right direction?! Cheers!!
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 This is a link to the inspection handbook which will apply from September 2012. I've only skimmed it as yet but my understanding is that EY comes under the school as a whole. I'm fairly certain that with the current/previous? inspection framework there was supplementary guidance relating to EY but haven't found it as yet! http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/school-inspection-handbook-september-2012
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 They haven't republished the additional guidance yet - it was withdrawn in November. however it is now an inspection of the key areas across all key stages in the school in the same way, not with a separate inspection.
AnonyMouse_38881 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 I know it changed to a whole school inspection wihtout a separate EYFS Grading from January, but assumed they would've updated the EYFS guidance for the changes from September. Our inspection is overdue as a school, so it's expected they will come sooner than later so i thought it would help to be on the ball with reading the guidance!
