Ofsteds new judgement are personal development will focus on how you promote
children’s personal development. Inspectors will use their professional
judgement to consider the effectiveness of your provision on children’s
all-round development. So… How do you: 👉 Enable children to be increasingly
independent? 👉 Prepare children for life in modern Britain through the
development in their understanding of fundamental British Values? 👉 Enable
children to form secure attachments? 👉 Foster and nurture a sense of belonging?
👉 Expand children’s vocabulary to enable them to vocalise or communicate their
thoughts and ideas? 👉 Create opportunities for children to manage risk? 👉
Encourage children to reflect on their differences and understand what makes
them unique? The New Education Inspection Framework places a greater emphasis on
care practices and children’s independence within this area. 👏 Also within
personal development comes the importance of sharing information with children
around the dangers of the internet and how children can keep themselves safe.👏
Also Ofsted’s phrase ‘prepare children for life in modern Britain’ brings into
play the importance of British values. The key pillars of democracy, the rule of
law, individual liberty and mutual respect for those of different faiths, needs
to be evident within your practice. Leaders must ensure that the approach taken
has meaning and relevance for children of different ages and is not just seen as
a tick box exercise. If you would like any further information / ideas of how to
embed personal development into your practice without more paperwork please
