Planning for an Enhanced Ofsted Inspection as an FE College

December 2 @ 12:30 pm 1:30 pm

Many FE Colleges have a least one eye on planning for their next Ofsted inspection. Do you have the enhanced inspection elements in focus?

Ofsted is a regular theme of our work with colleges. We see some common practices across the leaders and teams who are confident in their approach to an inspection. Enhanced college inspections began in September 2022 to include a narrative sub-judgement on how well colleges contribute to skills needs.

This webinar draws on Mesma and SDN’s collective experience working with hundreds of education providers and the experience of a VP with recent experience leading a college inspection. Together, we will show you some tried and tested tools and practices that are helping colleges to be well-prepared and reassured.

Webinar goals:

  • You will leave us with more clarity and confidence around planning and preparing for an enhanced inspection.
  • This will support you in identifying your organisational strengths and priority areas for improvement – the key to the Mesma ‘no-surprises’ mantra for inspections.
  • You’ll also have the chance to share good practices and experiences with other like-minded providers and experienced quality professionals.

About your session

The session will be led by Lou Doyle, CEO of Mesma and Senior Strategic Associate SDN. SDN and Mesma are leading experts in apprenticeships.

The SDN team have supported over 5,000 apprenticeship staff, from 1000 organisations, to prepare for the reforms. We’ve also worked closely with over 80 of the trailblazer employer groups, giving us a unique insight into what is required. Mesma are quality assurance experts and provide online software, tools and in-depth support for providers across the country.

Lou Doyle will be joined by Ollie Rodley, Vice Principal – Quality & Performance at Middlesbrough College. He will share his recent experience of leading a team through an enhanced inspection.

“Thank you… you are making such a difference to the sector!”

“Cannot wait to join another class.”

“It was a really informative session with lots of practical information sharing.”
