“Clear expectations drive confident leadership,” says Findel Education. “Preparation is strongest where everyday practice reflects the same rigour expected at inspection.”
Clarity builds confidence
The new framework emphasises consistent evaluation criteria and simplified outcome reporting. Schools will need to demonstrate the link between curriculum intent, implementation and impact with evidence that is accessible, authentic and aligned to lived practice.
Findel’s experience supporting schools across a wide range of contexts shows that readiness happens through quality fresourcing, shared professional language and curriculum aligned planning. When schools build systems that support quality every day, inspection becomes confirmation, not disruption.
Key takeaways
- Ofsted’s new framework begins in November 2025
- Webinars will help schools understand expectations before go live
- Findel supports readiness through resources that strengthen consistent curriculum alignment and evidence of progress
