Ofsted will also conduct a full public consultation on its proposed inspection framework, informed by extensive sector engagement, including trialling approaches and inspection pilots before routine inspections begin. This carefully sequenced and considered approach will ensure that the trust-level inspection system is thoroughly tested, focused on the right priorities and assessed for unintended consequences before inspections begin. It will also ensure that the system works effectively alongside school-level inspection and reflects the diversity of trust models, supporting, rather than constraining, innovation across the sector.
