OUTLINE
New survey results say Ofsted has negative impact on staff effectiveness and well-being Just 10% of teachers say that inspections make a positive difference to their own performance, according to new survey. More than 800 teachers took part in the questionnaire carried out on behalf of the Teacher Support Network, which also showed that:
- 93% of teachers feel that inspections contribute to stress
- 88% have developed symptoms of anxiety in advance of an inspector’s visit
- More than 90% of teachers say that school inspections make no difference to pupils’ academic results
This workshop will explore the impact of Ofsted inspection on school leadership and the actions school leaders can take to mitigate the impact of inspection on the wellbeing of staff and students. Staff wellbeing is of critical importance to schools, and whether you want to focus on your own wellbeing or are looking out for your colleagues, this workshop will provide information, guidance and support for school leaders on how to evidence this effectively.
