Ofsted inspectors use subject 'deep dives' to inspect your curriculum.
They'll use them to consider the 'intent, implementation and impact' of your curriculum as part of the 'quality of education' judgement.
The transition arrangements Ofsted has set out for primary schools to develop their curriculum plans in line with the 'quality of education' judgement don't apply to maths. Maths, like reading and writing, is subject to the requirements set out in the 2019 framework.
See paragraph 230 of the School Inspection Handbook for more details.
