The New Ofsted Inclusion Framework: What it Means for EAL Learners

In November 2025, Ofsted launched its new inspection framework, placing inclusion centre-stage for the first time. But what does this mean for EAL learners - and the educators supporting them?

Join FlashAcademy® for this expert-led webinar panel discussion exploring what teachers and school leaders need to know to get inspection-ready, while keeping EAL learners firmly at the heart of their approach.

Hear directly from Ofsted on inspection expectations, alongside a sector expert on embedding inclusive practice and school leaders responsible for implementing the new framework across their settings.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Understand what Ofsted inspectors expect to see in effective EAL provision
  • Embed inclusive practices across the whole school
  • Improve EAL learners’ experiences and outcomes through inclusive approaches
  • Navigate common challenges and practical solutions when implementing the new framework

Speakers:

  • Dr Nicole Ponsford, Founding CEO, The Global Equality Collective
  • Mark Sims, former EAL lead for Ofsted

  • Michelle Lawrence, Headteacher, Thistley Hough Academy

  • Hollie O'Sullivan, Associate Assistant Headteacher - EAL and Reading
