This audit pack is for anyone who plays a role in shaping behaviour and attitudes across their school. Whether you lead on behaviour strategy, oversee pastoral care, or support staff with behaviour management, these tools will help you reflect on what’s working well and where improvements are needed.

You might be:

• A headteacher reviewing whole-school behaviour culture and expectations
• A deputy or assistant head with responsibility for behaviour and attendance
• A behaviour or pastoral lead seeking to strengthen systems and staff confidence
• A senior leader preparing for Ofsted and wanting clear evidence of behaviour policy implementation and impact
• A governor or trust leader exploring how behaviour expectations and approaches are embedded across settings

Whatever your role, this audit pack will support honest reflection, structured evaluation and practical planning to help all pupils feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

This audit pack is based on the best practice in schools and the structure and themes from the draft 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit. The final version is expected in September 2025. As soon as the final framework is published, we’ll review and update this resource to ensure full alignment.

If you’ve already purchased the pack, you’ll receive the updated version for free – no need to buy again.

Will the updated version be very different?

This all depends on the outcomes of the consultation but at the moment, the audit pack reflects the key areas and language in the consultation draft. However, we’ll make sure any structural or wording updates from Ofsted are carefully reflected.

Can I still use the pack now?

Yes, definitely! It’s been designed to help schools reflect, plan and take action without waiting. All the audit questions and themes are grounded in best practice and real school priorities, so you can use the pack confidently as part of ongoing self-evaluation, curriculum reviews or preparation for inspection.

Do I need to do anything to get the updated version?

No. Once the resource is updated, we’ll send you a product update email which will give you instructions to redownload. You can also log into your account on our website at any time to re-download the latest version from your order history.

If you’re reviewing behaviour culture, pupil conduct or staff approaches to behaviour management, these related resources can help you build confidence, strengthen consistency and support wider school improvement.
