International qualified teacher status (iQTS): inspection policy

12 June 2025

We have updated the iQTS inspection framework, after the completion of the inspections pilot year. We have refined the grading descriptors, to make the distinction between outcomes clearer, and updated the iQTS criteria. The revised framework will guide the next rounds of inspections, which are due to run from autumn 2025 to spring 2026.
