Ofsted 90 Minute Phone Call 2025 Pack

Updated in line with the 2025 Ofsted changes. This pack is available for £15 on the Honeyguide-sls website.

A comprehensive guidance pack with accompanying templates to help you navigate what the pre-inspection Ofsted phone call will entail and ensure your team is prepared for an upcoming inspection. From the pre-inspection call to the moment the inspectors arrive (and everything in between!) this pack will provide you with hints and tips as to what might be useful for you to do, say and have at hand as that phone rings.

Throughout the pack, we’ll explain concepts, guide your thinking and provide scaffolds if you need them so you can focus on adapting everything to the needs of your pupils and staff, allowing you to be confident and well-prepared for when that call comes through.

Ofsted is spoken about at great length, but we often don’t know what to expect until we are in the moment. This pack helps to break away from the myths and rumours and focuses on what will really take place, allowing you to prepare for an Ofsted inspection at your own pace.

When you make your purchase, you’ll receive a ZIP file containing the whole pack, including:

*Complete process guide covering both the notification call and the new three-part planning call structure, including timing expectations, attendee arrangements, and the role of the nominee

• Example phone call questions template with realistic scenarios based on the 2025 framework to help you practise responses and build confidence
  *Ready-to-use crib sheet for essential figures and contacts, plus notification list to inform all stakeholders promptly
  *Post-call action checklists covering staff briefing and inspection day logistics
  *Ofsted documentation folder checklist and inspection responsibilities list to delegate tasks clearly across your team and get everyone prepared for when the call does come

Ideal for leaders who want to transform inspection anxiety into confident preparation, ensuring they can focus on representing their school effectively, rather than worrying about what Ofsted will ask during the phone call and what you’ll say in response.

Our full Ofsted Inspection Preparation pack includes this and so much more.
