Ofsted Preparation & Inspection Consultancy
Supporting Training Providers, Schools, and Early Years Settings to Excel in Ofsted Inspections
At Roman, we help education and training providers prepare for Ofsted inspections with confidence — whether you’re new to the framework, aiming for a higher grade, or working to recover from an ‘Inadequate’ or ‘Requires Improvement’ judgement.
Our comprehensive Ofsted Consultancy Service is designed for Independent Training Providers (ITPs), Apprenticeship Providers, Colleges, Nurseries, and Alternative Providers — delivering practical support, expert insight, and hands-on solutions to help you meet and exceed the Education Inspection Framework (EIF).
Who We Work With
Providers applying for Ofsted registration
New organisations preparing for their first inspection
Settings aiming to progress from “Requires Improvement” or “Inadequate”
Established providers aiming to achieve “Good” or “Outstanding”
Our Ofsted Consultancy Services Include:
✅ Readiness Reviews & Mock Inspections
We carry out a full review based on the Education Inspection Framework, mirroring Ofsted’s methods and helping you identify and address areas for development before inspectors arrive.
✅ Support with SARs & QIPs
We’ll work with your leadership and delivery teams to strengthen your Self-Assessment Reports (SAR) and Quality Improvement Plans (QIP) — ensuring they reflect your intent, implementation, and impact.
✅ Curriculum and Impact Mapping
We ensure your curriculum is well-planned, sequenced and learner-focused, while also showing measurable impact — a key area under EIF.
✅ Staff and Leadership Coaching
We prepare your staff to speak confidently and effectively during inspection, from trainers to safeguarding leads and senior leaders.
✅ Inspection Day Preparation
We help you understand what happens before, during and after the inspection, and provide a checklist so that you’re fully inspection-ready — including support with your Provider Information Return (PIR).
✅ Turnaround Consultancy for Improvement
For providers with less favourable Ofsted grades, we offer robust action planning, delivery improvement, and ongoing mentoring to regain compliance and move forward with confidence.
