Behaviour Lead Ofsted Inspection Preparation Bundle

Ofsted inspection can feel daunting when you’re a behaviour lead, especially if you’re new to the role or haven’t experienced an inspection under the current framework.

Designed specifically for behaviour and pastoral leads, this focused preparation pack translates the 2025 School Inspection Toolkit into practical guidance about your role during inspection. You’ll understand when and how you’ll engage with inspectors, what questions they’re likely to explore and how to demonstrate the excellent behaviour work you’re already doing to ensure all pupils experience a calm, orderly, respectful and supportive environment where they can thrive and learn.

You’ll get:

• Behaviour Lead Inspection Role Guidance – clear explanation of when you’ll be involved during inspection, what happens during focused leadership meetings, case sampling discussions and learning walks, and what inspectors want to understand from you
• Example Ofsted Behaviour Lead Questions – realistic questions you might be asked during inspection conversations, helping you practise articulating your approach and identify any areas to strengthen
• Further supporting documents – including a leader action checklist to build your inspection knowledge, an inspection readiness tool to evaluate your current practice against toolkit statements, and editable grade descriptor grids highlighting attendance and behaviour across the framework

This Ofsted behaviour lead resources pack helps to build your confidence to articulate your work clearly and supports you to prepare effectively without creating unnecessary workload. All templates are fully editable so you can adapt them for your school’s specific context and use them as part of your ongoing behaviour leadership, not just for inspection preparation.
