What's included in this bundle?
A bundle pack containing 8-page guidance of what an Ofsted deep dive entails and how you can utilise a similar internal process in your own subject monitoring. It contains five comprehensive templates:
1. Art and Design Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit (Primary)
Over 100 primary-focused deep dive questions about Art and Design to ask stakeholders, including senior leaders, subject leaders, teachers and pupils. As Art subject leader, you can utilise these to reflect on the current picture of Art and Design in your school and explore specific areas further when listening to staff and pupil voice. Many Art and Design subject leads find it helpful to practise them with other leaders to build their own confidence in preparation for an Art Ofsted deep dive.
2. Art and Design Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit (Secondary)
KS3, KS4 and KS5 Art and Design deep dive questions for secondary leaders and Art department heads to consider. While there is crossover with the primary set of deep dive questions, this resource focuses on secondary Art and Design and includes questions about secondary-focused areas, such as the routes available for pupils who wish to take their knowledge of Art and Design into further education, employment or training.
3. Art and Design Subject Knowledge Question Bank
Content-specific questions for Art and Design covering KS1, KS2 and KS3. They’re ideal if you’re wanting to explore the finer details of staff members' Art subject knowledge.
4. Deep Dive Process Overview
Use this to structure your internal deep dive in Art and Design, working through the process of identifying your perceived strengths and weaknesses, observation and questioning, and creating a plan of action.
5. Deep Dive Evidence Exploration
A handy place to collate all your observation notes when conducting a deep dive, including observing Art lessons, asking pupils about their learning in Art and Design and looking through portfolios of artwork.
Who will find this resource useful?
Art and Design subject leaders, especially those who are new Art subject leads, will find this pack extremely useful when monitoring teaching and learning, or if preparing for an Ofsted deep dive in Art and Design.
Curriculum leaders, senior leaders, headteachers or anyone else with responsibility for teaching and learning will also find the pack beneficial, whether they use it to conduct a deep dive themselves or support their Art and Design subject leader to prepare for an Ofsted inspection. The Art deep dive questions are particularly useful in reflecting on your setting's current practice.
What questions does this pack have the answers to?
Knowing you may have to go through an Ofsted deep dive in Art and Design can cause feelings of stress, anxiety and worry, especially if you’re thinking about what questions Ofsted will ask about Art and how you’ll answer. This pack supports that thinking process, especially if you work alongside other leaders to consider what makes great teaching and learning in Art and Design and how your school does or doesn’t do this.
However, it’s not just about preparing for an Ofsted inspection or doing things because Ofsted might want to see them - it’s about understanding the picture of your subject and knowing its strengths and weaknesses so you can get amazing outcomes for all of your pupils. It’s also important to know that even if you conduct an internal deep dive and find there are gaps, you can use this to formulate your next steps in an action plan, which will help to ensure improvement for all.
This pack can help you to understand:
- What is a deep dive?
- What is the purpose of Ofsted’s deep dives into areas of your curriculum?
- What does an Ofsted deep dive look like?
- Why might I want to conduct my own internal deep dive?
- Who should I involve in an internal deep dive?
- What deep dive questions will Ofsted ask about Art and Design?
