Recent updates: COVID-19

Ofsted has updated its School Inspection Handbook to include questions related to attendance during the pandemic. 

We've worked with our associate expert, Andrew Lagden, to develop new questions based on the changes to the handbook. We don't know for certain whether these questions will be asked, but they'll give you an idea of the kinds of things inspectors may focus on.
