Preparing for the Ofsted Inclusion Meeting

Welcome to our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course on Preparing for the Ofsted Inclusion Meeting. This course is designed to equip school leaders and educators with the knowledge and strategies needed to effectively present their school's approach to inclusion during an Ofsted inspection.

Inclusion is a fundamental aspect of education, ensuring that all students, regardless of their background or abilities, have access to high-quality learning experiences. Ofsted inspectors evaluate how well schools support diverse learners and create an inclusive environment that promotes equity and excellence.
