Ofsted has today published recordings of inspector training materials, as part of its commitment to being a more open and transparent organisation
The 6 recordings, published in video format, are used for training school inspectors through the new Ofsted Academy. Their publication follows on from mental health awareness training for all inspectors, delivered by Mental Health First Aid England, which was made available on Ofsted’s YouTube channel earlier this year.
Today’s videos feature sessions from the spring 2024 school inspector conference, including:
Two more general training recordings from the early autumn term have also been published:
More recordings of training given to inspectors working in the other areas that Ofsted inspects and regulates will be published in the near future.
Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver, said:
The training materials are published on a free-to-access external platform.

The training is recorded ‘as live’ and so is designed for inspectors. Ofsted regularly puts on webinars designed for staff working in the sectors we inspect and regulate. These can be found on our YouTube channel.
