An evidence-informed system – an evidence-informed inspectorateOfsted
Daniel Muijs argues that being evidence-informed is important for improving education and promoting social justice. While research has found effective teaching practices and what makes effective schools, the evidence base differs across areas and must be applied appropriately to local contexts. Ofsted aims to make its inspection process more evidence-informed by conducting research on key areas like lesson observations, educational effectiveness, and curriculum design to help develop valid criteria and measures. The ultimate goal is for both schools and the education system as a whole, including inspection processes, to be more informed by rigorous research.

Working towards the EIF 2019: Ofsted’s approach – further education and skillsOfsted
This document discusses Ofsted's plans to develop a new Education Inspection Framework in 2019. Key points include:
- The new framework will have a stronger focus on evaluating the quality of education rather than just outcomes data.
- Inspections will have four judgement areas: quality of education, personal development, leadership and management, and behaviour and attitudes.
- The curriculum will be at the heart of the framework, with evaluations of curriculum intent, implementation, and impact.
- Inspections will aim to reduce unnecessary workload for teachers and focus more on the student experience.
- Safeguarding will remain a key part of inspections.
- The framework is being developed based on research and evidence of effective education
The document summarizes the findings and outcomes of Ofsted's consultation on its new education inspection framework. Key points include:
- Over 15,000 responses were received, the largest consultation in Ofsted's history
- Respondents largely agreed with introducing a new "quality of education" judgment area focusing on curriculum over performance data
- Separating personal development and behavior/attitudes judgments was also supported
- The framework will be applied to all early years providers except those only providing before/after school care
- Feedback informed finalizing the new inspection handbooks and framework documents.
The regional director for Ofsted in London gave a webinar for teachers covering upcoming changes to school inspections. Key points included shortening the window for converting good school inspections to full inspections if issues are identified. Schools would receive letters outlining strengths and areas for improvement rather than full inspections in some cases. The director also discussed priorities around ensuring students receive a full curriculum, not just focusing on tests. Concerns about rising youth violence in London were addressed, with Ofsted looking at effective approaches schools and colleges are taking to promote student safety.
This document summarizes an Ofsted presentation given to trainee teachers. It outlines what Ofsted does, including inspecting schools, colleges, early years providers and local authorities.

The document discusses reforms aimed at improving learning around the world. It notes that expectations for learning have changed and now emphasize skills like collaboration, problem solving, and lifelong learning. However, 20th century teaching methods are not adequate to meet 21st century demands. Effective teachers engage students in active learning and continuously assess student work. The highest achieving nations invest heavily in teacher training and collaboration. Standards and assessments should focus on higher-order thinking skills rather than memorization. Overall, the document advocates for reforms that strengthen teaching quality through professional learning opportunities.

These are the building blocks of a strong school.1Bu.docxAbhinav816839
The document outlines the key drivers and outcomes that contribute to a strong school. It identifies the main drivers as school management, learning outcomes, culture and community, and enrollment outcomes. School management can be broken down into attendance, instruction, and operations. Positive outcomes in these areas along with strong culture and community can lead to increased student learning and enrollment. People management, as overseen by the school leader, is essential to influencing all the drivers and outcomes.
This document discusses governance in schools and how to improve it. It finds that governance is often ineffective, with governors not visiting schools, understanding data, or properly challenging leadership. Effective governance includes having a range of skills, understanding education issues, and challenging school leaders independently. Reviews can help governance by making boards more skilled, focused, and effective in overseeing school improvement. Inspectors will evaluate how well governors oversee areas like pupil progress, teaching quality, and school leadership.

Delivering and demonstrating strong governance: 2015 Governors’ Conference Me...Ofsted
Governors are most effective when they are fully involved in the school's self-evaluation and use this knowledge to challenge the school and contribute to its strategic direction. Weak governance fails to meet statutory requirements like safeguarding and does not rigorously monitor the quality of education. Schools are less likely to succeed with poor governance. Effective governors know how to challenge the headteacher and have the right skills. Declining schools often have governors that fail to challenge the headteacher, are over-reliant on them for information, and lack strategic thinking. Inspectors will evaluate governance based on evidence of vision, high expectations, self-evaluation, improvement efforts, and statutory duties.
This document summarizes a conference for school governors on better governance. The conference provided an opportunity for governors to identify what school inspections tell them, understand their roles and responsibilities, and hear about available training and support. Effective governance is seen as fundamental to school improvement. Inspection reports often identify issues with governance such as a lack of ambition and challenge. The document discusses characteristics of strong governing bodies and how the best governing bodies know their schools well, provide constructive support and challenge to leadership, and use performance data and other information to monitor progress and hold leaders accountable.
This document provides guidance for schools on effective use of pupil premium funding to improve outcomes for disadvantaged students. It outlines 10 actions school leaders can take, such as using data to identify achievement gaps, targeting funding at disadvantaged pupils, engaging with evidence on effective interventions, and evaluating impact. The pupil premium is intended to close attainment gaps and raise achievement, and Ofsted inspects how schools are using it to maximize progress for these students. Schools that use research-based interventions and track pupil outcomes are most successful with the funding.
The document discusses the importance of using data to guide instruction. It outlines key findings from research showing that formative assessment and involving students in their own learning can significantly improve student achievement. However, several inhibiting factors are also identified, such as teachers focusing more on work quantity than quality of learning. The document advocates using frequent, in-depth data analysis to inform instruction and differentiate based on student needs.
This document outlines a performance framework for evaluating a school across four core questions: 1) Is the educational program successful? 2) Is the organization effective and well-run? 3) Is the school meeting its operations and access obligations? 4) Is the school providing appropriate conditions for success? Each core question contains multiple findings that are rated on a scale from "does not meet standard" to "exceeds standard" based on evidence and performance targets. The framework provides a comprehensive means for assessing a school's academic outcomes, organizational management, legal compliance, and support for student success.
Raising student achievement provides individual and societal benefits. The most important skill is the ability to learn and adapt to new situations. Teacher quality has the greatest impact on student learning - the most effective teachers help students learn more in less time. Formative assessment involves clarifying learning goals, eliciting evidence of student understanding, and providing feedback to help students improve. It is important to use evidence of student learning to adapt teaching to meet student needs.
1. Determined leadership from headteachers is crucial to improving schools from satisfactory to good or better. New headteachers communicated a clear vision of high expectations for teaching, learning, and pupil behavior.
2. Headteachers established environments conducive to improvement by strengthening senior leadership, eradicating inadequate teaching, and leading by example. They also improved the physical school environment.
3. Headteachers held staff accountable through rigorous performance management and monitoring focused on school priorities. This resulted in some staff leaving, but also improved the practice of other teachers.
The document outlines the aims and content of a workshop for school governors on supporting school improvement. It discusses governors' accountability for school improvement and effectiveness, understanding data to evaluate performance, and levers that can drive improvement such as focusing on teaching and learning. It provides examples of effective governance practices like using data to identify priorities and holding leaders accountable. The key takeaways are that governors should understand data, set strategic plans and priorities, and challenge school leaders to improve outcomes for students.
Ryedale School Local Authority Report 2015Gareth Jenkins
- The local authority conducted a review of Ryedale School over two days in September 2015. They observed lessons, met with school leaders and students, and reviewed documentation.
- The review found that Ryedale School's overall effectiveness is outstanding. Student achievement is consistently above national averages and all student groups make rapid progress. Teaching is of a high quality across the school.
- Leadership and management at the school is also outstanding. The headteacher provides excellent leadership and has created a culture of high expectations. Governors hold the school accountable and ensure high quality governance.
This document discusses strategic leadership of ICT in schools. It emphasizes that school leaders play a key role in translating visions of technology integration into reality through strategic planning. Effective strategic goals focus on student outcomes and are SMART. Strategic plans should involve collecting evidence, defining issues, setting goals, and determining actions, monitoring, and evaluation. Leaders must enable and support teacher professional development and technology literacy for 21st century learners.

Richard Pemble discusses deep dives, which are focused curriculum reviews conducted during inspections of education providers. Deep dives examine areas of significant provision, like subjects, types of courses, or subcontractors. Inspectors plan initial deep dives using historical data and intelligence, and may conduct additional deep dives as the inspection progresses. Deep dives involve activities like discussions with learners, teachers, and managers, as well as reviewing work and resources, to evaluate the intent, implementation, and impact of the curriculum. Subcontracted provision may also be subject to a deep dive on its own or as part of another area review.
AELP national conference June 2021 - new provider monitoring visitsOfsted
New provider monitoring visits by Ofsted typically occur within 24 months of a provider beginning to train apprentices. The visits last two days and focus on progress in three key areas: meeting apprenticeship requirements, delivering high-quality training and effective safeguarding. Inspectors produce a report highlighting what is going well, such as clear curriculum design, and areas for improvement, like oversight of training quality. An insufficient safeguarding judgement may result in a follow up visit within four months. While initial outcomes of recent visits were disappointing, the picture is improving as providers address issues in overseeing apprentices' learning and safety.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

Effective leadership through challenge Slide 2
10. Recent developments:
short inspections
We want to catch schools ‘before they fall’. We
want to reduce workload, to use our evidence
to help schools improve and to provide
constructive support.
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 10
11. Short inspections
Short inspections for good schools – approximately every
three years, for one day.
Two judgements only:
Is the school still good?
Is safeguarding effective?
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 11
12. Summary of changes from January 2018
Is the school continuing to be good?
Is safeguarding effective?
Yes, school
remains good
Returns to cycle
of inspection (up
to five years but
usually three)
No, serious concerns
regarding either
safeguarding, behaviour
or quality of education
Section 5 inspection
normally within 48
hours
Decision to convert.
Lead inspector explains
that a s5 will follow
Inspectors are not
satisfied that the
school would retain its
current grade if it
received a section 5 at
this point in time
Section 5 inspection
within up to two years
Yes, the school remains
good and there is
sufficient evidence of
improved performance
that suggests that the
school may be judged
outstanding if it
received a section 5
inspection now.
Section 5 within up to
two years

14. Inspectors will consider whether governors:
work effectively with leaders to communicate the vision,
ethos and strategic direction of the school and develop a
culture of ambition
provide a balance of challenge and support… understanding
the strengths and areas needing improvement at the
school
provide support for an effective headteacher or are hindering
school improvement because of a lack of understanding
of the issues facing the school
understand the impact of teaching, learning and
assessment on the progress of pupils currently in the school.
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 14
15. Inspectors will consider whether governors:
ensure that assessment information from leaders provides
governors with sufficient and accurate information to ask
probing questions about outcomes for pupils
ensure that the school’s finances are properly managed
and can evaluate how the school is using the pupil premium,
Year 7 literacy and numeracy catch-up premium, primary PE
and sport premium and special educational needs funding.

16. What inspection tells us: poor practice
Common issues with governance identified in inspection reports
included:
not ambitious about expectations
lack of a ‘critical friend’ approach and challenge
over-reliance on information solely from the headteacher
do not visit the school
lack of engagement with school development planning
limited role in monitoring the impact of actions
limited understanding of data and school quality.
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 16
17. What inspection tells us: poor practice
‘The governors were too reliant on reports from the headteacher
about better outcomes in key stage 2 and were unable to
challenge the school sufficiently about the lack of improvement
over a number of years at key stage 1 as they were not aware of
the situation.’
If governance is weak inspectors will recommend external
review:

Effective leadership through challenge Slide 17
18. What inspection tells us: strong practice
Characteristics of strong governing bodies:
Understand their role and how it complements that of the
headteacher
Have a range of skills that brings something extra to the school
and to develop a strategic vision
Technical knowledge – of education, data, statutory
responsibilities and performance management in particular
See and hear from middle and senior leaders about their work –
and challenge them on it
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 18
19. What inspection tells us: strong practice
Characteristics of strong governing bodies:
Are a visible presence in the school
Set challenging targets for performance at all levels, including in
achievement, teaching and senior management work
Form their own analysis of the school’s performance without
relying solely on the headteacher
Are ‘exceptionally well informed ’ about their school

21. Questions to consider:
What is your evaluation of the school’s overall effectiveness at
this stage of its development? How do you know?
Consider areas for improvement and vulnerabilities: leadership,
governance, staffing, finance, roll, premises
How have governors supported and challenged the performance
of the school in relation to teaching, learning and assessment?
Can you provide a practical example?
What is the impact on learners and staff in the school? How do
you know this?
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 21
22. Questions to consider:
What is your involvement in the performance management of
the headteacher and the staff?
What proportion of the teaching staff made progress up the
school’s pay scale last year? How do you know this?
How well are the pupils in Year 1/3/8 doing?
Is the assessment information that you are given accurate?
Which groups of pupils in which year groups are you particularly
concerned about at the present time? How do you know?
Effective leadership through challenge Slide 22
23. Questions to consider:
Can we discuss the use of funding for disadvantaged pupils?
Where has the funding had its biggest impact?
In which year group has the funding not enabled disadvantaged
pupils to catch up with their peers? What is the school doing
about this?
Last year, pupils did not reach the national average in
mathematics at the end of key stage 4. What changes has the
school made to address this issue?
Has the curriculum been changed to address this
underachievement? How do you know?
