This recorded network presentation features Jude Simpson, Early Years Senior HMI for the East Midlands, who outlines Ofsted’s renewed inspection framework. The session explores the key changes coming into effect from November 2025, including the new report card, five-point grading scale, and stronger focus on inclusion. Jude highlights how inspections aim to feel more collaborative, celebrate strengths, reduce unnecessary workload, and keep children—especially those who are disadvantaged or have SEND—at the heart of the framework.
