What happened

With three inspectors spending two days at a one-form-entry school, the scrutiny was thorough. Under the new framework, inspectors work through the toolkit line by line, looking for evidence against every descriptor. It is an exact-fit model. Either the evidence is there, or it isn’t.

Mark had used Intelligent Evidence to build his evidence base before the call came, mapping documents against the expected standard first, and then the strong standard. He felt prepared, and that paid off – even when confidence wavered on day one, his evidence base gave him the ground to stand on and go back fighting on day two.

The inspection resulted in a strong outcome across the board.
