THRIVE IN ACTION

Wellbeing matters: One month on - insights from the new Ofsted framework

We’re connecting online between 4:00pm and 5:00pm GMT on 11th December. Can't join live? Sign up anyway and we'll share the recording.

What is the event about?

The new Ofsted framework is here - and schools across England are preparing for their first inspections. But what does it really mean for pupil wellbeing and inclusion?

Join Thrive’s Tom Preston and Viv Trask-Hall, alongside a special guest speaker, as they explore what’s happening on the ground one-month in. We'll unpack how schools are interpreting the new ‘Inclusion’ evaluation area - and what this means in everyday practice. We'll also explore how the ‘Personal Development and Wellbeing’ focus is being applied in real-world settings, along with practical suggestions to support pupil wellbeing in line with Ofsted expectations. 

 
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, practical takeaways, and renewed confidence to build inclusive, emotionally healthy learning environments.
