Inspections into 2025 – Manchester

Inspection readiness for Autumn 2025 onwards

** Spaces are limited due to venue capacity – book early to avoid missing out **

With a brand-new inspection framework proposed to launch in November 2025, this course ensures your school is fully prepared to meet the new expectations with clarity, confidence and control.

Rather than overhauling everything at once, the most effective schools will build on their existing strengths – refining self-evaluation, evidence gathering and leadership systems to align with the new model. This course will guide you through exactly how to do that.

Designed for senior leaders and governors, the course breaks down the key components of the new framework and shows you how to embed practices that will support a smooth, successful inspection experience under the revised approach.
