New Ofsted Framework - I knew that this had been causing workload issues at primary where subject leaders with no TLR or planning time are suddenly expected to have massive in-depth knowledge of the curriculum, but I just saw this on twitter about how it is working at secondary.

The list of questions I suppose seem fair enough for a HoD, although in my school we have faculties of sometimes unrelated subjects so the HoF would presumably be grilled intensively about a subject they’ve never taught.
The bit that really caught my eye though was
“Where a subject has been selected for a DD, some teachers were observed for 4 lessons, 20 minutes at each time”.
Can you imagine the stress of being that teacher? Of the changes made to Ofsted inspections in recent years, the stopping of grading of individual teachers and the lighter touch when it came to classroom observations has been the most welcome.
This, I think, is too much. Has anyone experienced it?
