Are You Deep Dive Ready?

You will have probably seen the news that Ofsted will be inspecting all schools by Summer 2025. An integral part of Ofsted’s methodology for the quality of education judgement is the ‘deep dive’, with leaders expected to talk about their subject area in great depth, including curriculum rationale, content choices and subject sequencing.

We are pleased to be able to offer deep dive courses for reading, writing and foundation subjects to help prepare for what can be a daunting process, so whether you are ‘Ofsted-imminent’ or just want to upskill your middle leaders, both established or new-to-role, come along to our webinar to find out more – go to junipercpd.org and search for ‘deep dive‘.

We are working hard to add maths and science-specific courses and also an introduction for governors – we’ll let you know when they’re available.

School Assessment Leaders (SALs) Updates

Statutory assessment is back this year and that means getting back up to speed with the myriad of requirements and in particular the changes to previous years.

Our ever-popular SALs updates continue to run (visit junipercpd.org and search for ‘SALs‘), but this year we are delighted to offer a new on-demand version, incorporating both video and a useful slide deck.

The updates are run by Jane Downes who has many years of experience as a moderation manager and is an accredited LCI consultant. She is a former DST for the standards and testing agency and former Ofqual subject expert. She has published materials with the Primary National Strategy, Mantle of the Expert and the Basic Skills Agency.

Each update (one term) costs just £25 for 2 months of access per person and can be booked now. The Spring term update is available now – look out for the Summer one later this year
