COVID-19 considerations
Inspectors will be sympathetic where, as a result of the pandemic, you haven't been able to fully implement the new curriculum, provided you:
- Have had regard to the statutory guidance
- Have a good rationale for prioritising what you've implemented
- Have clear and effective plans to address any gaps before the end of the 2021/22 academic year
This is explained in paragraph 262 of the updated School Inspection Handbook.

If inspectors find your school is failing to meet its obligations, they'll consider this in their personal development, and leadership and management judgements.
