Lesson Observation Form

Observation form against new OFSTED criteria for Education Inspection Framework to be used by senior leaders when observing teaching staff in KS1 and KS2.

Includes descriptors taken directly from framework for compiling evidence used in lesson observation.

Should not be used to give an overall lesson judgement, but instead used alongside other evidence such as work scrutiny, pupil questionnaires and/or assessment data.

Also includes a summary sheet to be given to member of staff being observed and space for a coaching discussion should questions arise as a result of the observation. Users can add or delete rows as necessary.

Finally, an appendix of common OFSTED questions is included that may be used as ‘stock’ questions post-observation.
