What inspectors are looking for
The 'personal development' judgement evaluates:
- Your school's intent to provide for the personal development of all pupils, and
- The quality with which you implement this work
Ofsted recognises that you often won't be able to assess the impact of your personal development provision while a pupil is at your school. For that reason, inspectors won't try to measure the impact of your provision on individual pupils.
Inspectors will check you're:
Responsible, respectful and active citizens who are able to play their part and become actively involved in public life as adults Pupils’ understanding of the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance Pupils’ character, which Ofsted defines as a set of positive personal traits, dispositions and virtues that informs their motivation and guides their conduct so that they reflect wisely, learn eagerly, behave with integrity and cooperate consistently well with others Pupils’ confidence, resilience and knowledge
