    Default Ofsted Inspection

    Hi Everyone!
    Im getting ready for my inspection which will hopefully be in next mth or so! I would just like to ask if i have to print all my paperwork such as policies charts and everything i use or would the inspector be happy to read and look from my laptop?
    Thanks

    The last inspector I spoke to pointed to my laptop and said that i could 'use that thing' and do everything on there. she said she had just seen a lady who had all files on her laptop and had been impressed with her colour coded excel sheets i suppose it's another one of those things that depends on the person inspecting you. i would like to have everything electronically but i am keeping paper copies for my first graded inspection and then i might migrate everything to electronic only to save paper...

    My understanding was that you need paper copies of things... but I am not sure where I got that from

    Just to say my Inspector did not even have a laptop with her she wrote everything down luckily I have hard copies of all my paperwork so I think it would be a good idea to print everything off.

    Also I agree with Sarah I thought we had to have hard copies of everything but I also do not know where I got that information from.
