Pupil Premium Lead Ofsted Inspection Preparation Bundle

This focused pack helps you tackle the most common concerns pupil premium leads have when preparing for inspection:

"What will inspectors ask me about my pupil premium strategy?" The Example Ofsted Pupil Premium Lead Questions resource explores the key themes inspectors investigate, from how you've identified disadvantaged pupils' needs to how you monitor the impact of interventions and ensure pupil premium spending closes gaps. Use these to practise articulating your approach and ensure you can explain the thinking behind your pupil premium leadership.

"How do I know if our support for disadvantaged pupils meets the inspection framework?" The Inclusion Inspection Readiness Tool helps you compare your current practice against each toolkit statement, identifying what evidence demonstrates your provision, who can speak to it and what specific examples you have. This systematic approach ensures you're confident about where you stand.

"What do I need to do to get myself and my team ready for pupil premium scrutiny?" The Inclusion Leader Action Checklist provides clear prompts for building your knowledge of how support for disadvantaged pupils is inspected, from understanding case sampling to knowing which evaluation areas you contribute to beyond inclusion itself.

"Where does pupil premium fit within the wider inspection framework?" The Ofsted Grade Descriptor Grids give you the complete toolkit in an editable format, highlighting not just the inclusion evaluation area but also where your work with disadvantaged pupils connects to achievement, curriculum and teaching, attendance and behaviour and leadership and governance.

"How can I demonstrate the impact of pupil premium spending during inspection?" The guidance and tools help you articulate how your pupil premium strategy is evidence-based, how you monitor effectiveness of interventions, and how disadvantaged pupils are achieving compared to their peers both within your school and nationally.
