Ofsted will introduce new guidelines for inspections from autumn term 2005. In future, inspections will be more regular, be conducted with very little notice given to schools and involve greater self-evaluation. This course will enable secondary school leaders and managers to gain an in-depth knowledge of the new guidelines in order to prepare their school fully for the next inspection. The emphasis will be very much on providing up-to-date information for participants and will focus on how whole school aspects - as well as teaching and learning - are to be inspected and will give practical advice on how to manage the inspection process successfully.
