Ofsted Folder and Document Checklist
🔒 Fully aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit
Preparing for an Ofsted inspection means having the right evidence at your fingertips. This Ofsted Folder and Document Checklist helps headteachers, deputy heads and senior leaders organise essential documentation across all evaluation areas of the 2025 School Inspection Toolkit.
Whether you maintain a paper-based file, use cloud storage or prefer your school's management system, this comprehensive checklist ensures nothing important gets overlooked. You'll work through each inspection area systematically – from safeguarding and leadership & governance to inclusion and curriculum & teaching – ticking off documents you have and identifying gaps that need addressing.
You'll get:
☑️ Complete 11-page document checklist covering Administration, Leadership and Governance, Attendance and Behaviour, Inclusion, Safeguarding, Curriculum and Teaching, Achievement, Personal Development and Well-Being, Early Years, Post-16 Provision, and Performance Management
☑️ Practical guidance and tips on what to include for each document type, helping you focus on current, high-quality evidence that demonstrates your school's impact - this includes guidance on which documents Ofsted inspectors will need access to by 8am on Day 1 of inspection
☑️ Aligned with Ofsted 2025 – 2026 – fully updated to reflect the final School Inspection Toolkit requirements
This checklist is particularly valuable when you're building your inspection preparation systems from scratch, conducting internal readiness reviews, or ensuring your evidence folders remain current throughout the year.
Perfect for: Headteachers, deputy heads, senior leadership teams, school business managers and anyone responsible for coordinating Ofsted inspection preparation.
