Ofsted Pre-Inspection Action Checklist
£3.00
Unit price / per🔒 Fully aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit
An upcoming Ofsted inspection can feel overwhelming, but starting with the right questions helps you understand where you stand. This Pre-Inspection Action Checklist is designed as a thinking tool to help headteachers and senior leaders consider the inspection preparation process, working through every evaluation area systematically to identify where you're confident and where you need further exploration.
Use this checklist in senior leadership meetings to prompt honest conversations about your school's readiness. Rather than providing all the answers, it gives you a comprehensive starting point across all eight evaluation areas of the 2025 School Inspection Toolkit, plus other inspection considerations, helping you figure out which areas are strong and which require deeper investigation or additional support.
You'll get:
☑️ A 12-page Pre-Inspection Action Checklist, giving you starting point questions covering Pre-Inspection Logistics, Documentation and Records, Curriculum and Teaching, Achievement, Behaviour and Personal Development, Leadership and Governance, plus Early Years and Post-16 (where applicable)
☑️ Exploration prompts that help leadership teams assess what's in place, identify gaps in knowledge or documentation, and recognise areas needing further work
☑️ Planning space with 'Complete?' checkboxes and 'Notes & Actions' columns to record initial thoughts and flag areas requiring deeper exploration
This checklist is particularly valuable when beginning your inspection preparation journey, helping you map out your starting position before deciding where to focus your efforts and what additional support or resources you might need.
Perfect for: Headteachers, deputy heads, senior leadership teams, school business managers and anyone starting the Ofsted inspection preparation process.
👉 Looking for further support on preparing for inspection? This resource is also available as part of the full Ofsted Inspection Preparation Pack too.
