Emmawill Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi quick question I now a few years ago Operational Plans were a big thing with Ofsted, have got to update mine but just wondered is everyone still doing one and are they actually a requirement?.

Wildflowers Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The documents that are required are listed in the EYFS Statutory Framework. You may find that they are the same as those that we had to have in our Operational Plan, when that was what it was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 i find most of the time the stuff i put on there is now on the sef (when i do it ) so no i don't do it now but i do an action plan (very simple one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmawill Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 So would it be safe to say that as I have an up to date sef that I shouldn't need to do one?. Any less paperwork is always a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I have a file that I call my Ofsted ready file, in it I have a copy of my sef, staff and committee details, cohort tracker assessments, ROADS reports, supervisions and appraisals, parent feedback etc. Find it a really handy place to keep all my important papers in one place, much like the old operational plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to ask 'ROADS' ................ I'm guessing you don't keep a map in there.... so what is it? (and more to the point- should I have one!!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It is our local authority quality improvement visit records!! No maps!! But what an impressive acronym .............. we just call ours........'visit notes' However, like you I do have the 'otsted ready' folder with all the relevant documents either in it, or signposting to where to find them.

Wildflowers Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I thought the old Operational Plan also contained the P&Ps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I thought the old Operational Plan also contained the P&Ps... Ours only ever had a list of what we had, and where to fine the complete folder, same as we have in our Ofsted ready folder now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Ok, I give up- what are P&P's? Take it its not postage & packing???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Policies and procedures. Sorry! It doesn't matter how things are filed as long as everything is accessible. In our policies file we also got our risk assessment. In our inspections file we got the development plan / self-evaluation, action plan and other documents mentioned above. Oh, need to add - complaints records must be there too, even if nothing is written on sheet of paper with a heading. That's what I've been told!

Stargrower Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 ROADS? Visit notes? Wow! We have no visits any longer so no ROADS or visit notes to file. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
