Why you must act now

The updated Education Inspection Framework (EIF) has been finalised and published. It represents one of the most significant changes to inspections in recent years, with a stronger focus on inclusion, safeguarding, and whole-school accountability. 

Why act urgently - an image of a teacher outside a school with timer ticking down to a deadline

Key changes include:

  • A new 5-point grading scale:
    Urgent Improvement, Needs Attention, Expected Standard, Strong Standard, Exceptional 
  • Safeguarding judged separately: Met / Not met 
  • Inclusion evaluated as a standalone area, threaded throughout all other judgments 
  • Introduction of clear, parent-friendly report cards instead of single-word ratings 

These updates raise the bar for evidence and require schools to demonstrate connected, comprehensive systems for safeguarding, SEND, behaviour, and inclusion.

Tes Spark was built for exactly this moment; bringing these critical functions together in one integrated solution so you can confidently evidence compliance, drive whole-school improvement, and be fully prepared for the new framework. 

Tackle today's pressing school challenges head-on:

  • Compliance uncertainty

    Navigating unknown changes in Ofsted inspections requires proactive measures now to confidently evidence compliance.

  • Administrative overload

    Managing pupil behaviour, safeguarding and SEND separately creates inefficiencies and administrative burdens, diverting crucial resources away from pupils.

  • Budget pressures

    Finding cost-effective ways to meet rigorous compliance requirements without compromising on quality and effectiveness is increasingly challenging.

  • Data complexity

    Fragmented data across separate platforms makes informed decision-making difficult and reduces responsiveness to pupil needs.
