Description

A practical workshop exploring the Independent School Standards, compliance, inspection expectations and how to evidence them effectively.

The workshop is aimed at exploring the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014 specifically:

What they are – structure, coverage, who is responsible for what
Why they are important - impact on registration status, inspection outcomes, pupil referrals, the ISS and Ofsted’s Inspection Framework
How to ensure compliance – the AREA strategy
How to demonstrate compliance for standards in different roles – documentation, implementation and evidence that inspectors may consider, and how this can look different depending on your role within the school.
The workshop will move beyond simply reading the regulations and focus on what the standards mean in practice. Delegates will be encouraged to consider how effectively their own systems, processes and evidence demonstrate that requirements are understood, implemented and monitored.

I am an experienced independent school leader and consultant with extensive knowledge of the non-association independent school sector. I have supported a wide range of schools with quality assurance, regulatory compliance, inspection readiness and sustainable school improvement. I am deeply committed to peer-led collaboration and to creating professional spaces where school leaders can reflect openly, build confidence and strengthen practice beyond inspection cycles. I like a cream tea (fruit scone, clotted cream, raspberry jam) ​ Tea? Yorkshire Tea, semi-skimmed milk, no sugar
