Tower of Terror

2 hours in classrooms

making very quick judgements- observations spoke to children focus on what adults were doing to support learning ‘Tell me what you thought about that……?’

Leaders

• A one and a half hour meeting
• Wider curriculum

How were their subjects supporting progress in writing, reading and maths? Show me the evidence.

• British values
• Subject specific progress in subjects across year groups
• Progression of skills within books and across the school
• Book scrutiny to support everything.

How are we preparing pupils for life in modern Britain?

• This was a big focus

for our inspector. She asked very challenging questions

• f our governors and

leaders.

Reading

• Listened to children read
• Observed phonics
• Observed our class reading sessions
• Questioned our approach to reading and

actions we were taking to raise standards.

Data

• Starting points-
• Progress and accelerated progress
• Disadvantaged pupils
• Progress exceeding made
• SEN end of early years to now
• Age related expectations for disadvantaged, SEN, boys and

girls across the whole school.

• The data was not as important as the evidence in books.

How to survive

• Don’t give too much data, be selective.
• Don’t feel pressured to provide anything really

quickly without looking at it first.

• Know the story behind last year’s data down to

an individual pupil’s detail.

• Don’t be afraid to challenge them. They don’t

know it all.

• Know the handbook.
• Prepare the basics ready to present:

safeguarding, attendance, newsletters.

And so………
