Primary Subject Leadership: Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk

This half – day session will enable school leaders to respond to Ofsted’s increased focus on the subject curriculum and thereby on subject leadership

Phil Drabble is an experienced School Improvement Adviser. He is a former senior local authority adviser and a former Ofsted lead inspector. In recent months he has worked extensively with headteachers throughout the East Midlands to support them in meeting the challenge presented by the revised Ofsted education inspection framework.

In the course of the session Phil will provide guidance on how to go about observing a lesson, how to undertake a work scrutiny in such a way that it is feasible and on how to gauge the views of pupils. He will also show how a range of evidence can be brought together to enable the subject leader to engage confidently with their line manager or an Ofsted inspector in respect of the quality of provision in their subject. There will be video clips analysing lessons and the quality of discussions between a  Subject Leader and an Inspector.
