Ofsted report card self-assessment tool
Ofsted's new November 2025 FE and skills inspection framework replaces single-word grades with a report card system across five evaluation areas. This tool helps training providers and apprenticeship providers self-assess their provision, identify gaps, and prepare before an inspection visit.

About the new Ofsted report card system
- Four grade descriptors: Exceptional, Strong, Standard, and Inadequate — replacing Good, Outstanding, Requires Improvement, and Inadequate.
- Five report card areas: Curriculum and Training, Achievement and Destinations, Participation and Engagement, Leadership and Management, and Safeguarding.
- No single overall grade: From November 2025, Ofsted publishes a report card with individual scores per area rather than a single overall judgement.
- Deep dives remain: Curriculum conversations (deep dives) are still a central inspection activity — inspectors will look for coherent intent, implementation, and impact.
- Evidence base: Ofsted expects a "forensic, valid and reliable" evidence base for all self-assessment claims. IQA records, progress review data, and learner outcome tracking all feed into this.
