Just trying to get my head around an upcoming Ofsted visit and can’t find much guidance re my dilemma as i’m not a supply teacher.
I’m self employed in a contract to teach functional skills. The sessions are spread out throughout the week and as my contract states at my discretion. This works for me due to other work/commitments. I have a review meeting with the client every couple of weeks. Contract ends in a couple of months and i am not considering renewing.
So how does this work with Ofsted. I get that they can ask to come into any of my pre arranged sessions and this is not an issue. Is it like part time hours that you can only been ‘seen’ if in work? The client seems to think i should drop everything for the few days so i can be at their beck and call during the inspection.
However, am i supposed to avail myself outside my lesson time as, for example if I am teaching elsewhere or at hospital with lady i care for?
