About this event

Join HeadteacherChat® for Ready to Lead: Spring 2026, a focused online INSET session lasting two hours that helps school leaders and staff prepare calmly and confidently for the new Ofsted framework, effective from November 2025.

This session will empower you to deliver INSET staff meetings across four essential areas, Safeguarding, Inclusion, Attendance, and Leadership and Governance, so your school is fully prepared for the new Ofsted framework and the spring term ahead.

Ofsted’s updated 2025 framework places a strong emphasis on school culture, consistency and everyday routines that help pupils feel safe, included and ready to learn. This practical and reflective session will help you strengthen what already works in your school, build a confident culture of leadership, inclusion and everyday excellence, and show clearly how you meet Ofsted expectations through daily practice.

What we will cover

• The new framework: key changes for 2025 and what they mean for everyday practice in classrooms, corridors and leadership
• Safeguarding: culture, vigilance and professional confidence, including how you evidence that pupils are safe and concerns are followed up well
• Inclusion: ensuring pupils feel they belong, with adaptive teaching, effective SEND support and equitable access to the curriculum
• Attendance: routines, systems and conversations that support strong attendance and reduce persistent absence
• Leadership and governance: aligning vision, strategy, monitoring and evidence so that leaders and governors can tell a confident, coherent story of the school

In partnership with Trybooking.com - supporting schools across the UK since 2014 to save time and money when putting on school events.
