resources for secondary deep dive faculty prepare intent quality implementation OFSTED

This is a range of editable resources that are brilliant to evidence the key areas relating to the new OFSTED frame work and subsequent Deep Dive questioning that Heads of Faculty will have to undertake.

They cover most of the curriculum based questions and are a superb way to evidence all of the things that HoDs need to show.

The resources will need your own T&L and content adding to them, but are a framework to a successful Deep Dive process and a fantastic starting point.

Resource 1: Rose Graph. Designed to show that leaders the providers have created a curriculum that is coherently planned and sequenced towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning. It shows building and links between year groups and themes.

Resource 2: National curriculum content. This resource enables a HoD to map out all of the Nation Curriculum coverage. OFSTED look for this in a curriculum design and plan. This demonstrates very clearly when all areas are covered and amount of NC coverage.

Resource 3: Learning Journey. These are simple, but effective ways to demonstrate the path and direction of learning throughout a half term/term at KS3 or 4. They provide learners with this knowledge and demonstrate a clear end point. I normally end with a mini project type task/activity. e.g. create a board game.

Resource 4: Assessment Mapping. This takes a little time, but is a great way to demonstrate that over the course of study, the teaching is designed to help learners to remember in the long term the content they have been taught. It shows that teachers and leaders use assessment well, is timely, used to check understanding and recall is thorough.

Resource 5: Low stakes testing. This simple format is used (in conjunction with the assessment mapping grid) to make sure that learning from across all half terms is covered thoroughly.

Resource 6: Homework ideas. This allows teachers to demonstrate how they are supporting learners to recover, recap and recall information. It has a section to add QR code links and why the student is undertaking this particular activity. Tasks are also designed to require little to no marking and to be fun and engaging. You will obviously use this same format for your subject area but it will need populating with your own subject materials.
