Ofsted has released its first set of inspector training materials through its new “Ofsted Academy,” a move aimed at increasing transparency.

These materials include six training videos that guide inspectors on various aspects of their role, from understanding context and assessing impact to examining attendance.

The release follows criticism in 2022 over unpublished inspector guidelines and is part of Ofsted’s efforts to address mental health awareness in inspections. This initiative was led by Chief Inspector Sir Martyn Oliver to foster openness with schools and stakeholders.
