Thanks to everyone who came along to the North West Ofsted Big Conversation event this evening where Ofsted gave a presentation about their steps towards change in September 25.

This was our first open event for 2 years and we decided to take things back to where we started 12 years ago. It’s was simply about engaging with Ofsted and an opportunity to hear from them and ask questions.

If you came along this evening please let us know what you thought about the event and what was said from Ofsted. We appreciate that Ofsted representatives were able to join us.
