Description
The 90-Minute Inspection Phone Call Resource Pack – NEW 2025 Framework
Strategies, Resources and Preparation
One of the most universally dreaded moments for inspection leaders is the 90-minute phone call that occurs the day before an inspection. This conversation, typically scheduled with little warning, is far more than a mere formality; it is, in fact, the point upon which the entire inspection may pivot.
The content and tone of this call shape the direction and outcome of the subsequent inspection, making it absolutely vital for school leaders and their teams to be well prepared, strategic, and confident.
In this comprehensive resource, you will find everything you need to approach the inspection phone call with assurance, from a detailed breakdown of commonly asked questions and exemplary model answers to practical ideas for gathering supporting evidence, and a planner designed to embed inspection readiness into your Senior Leadership Team (SLT) routines all year round.
