Welcome to the Voice of the Middle Schools

The NMSF is the only organisation that represents the interests and aspirations of middle school headteachers, staff, pupils and governors. As "The Voice of Middle Schools" we have contacts with many national bodies such as QCA; TTA; Ofsted; House of Commons Select Committee (Education) and, of course, LEAs both inside and outside the U.K.

The provision of a support group to all middle schools is a key role of the Forum. Our annual conference gives us the opportunity to discuss the common issues of the day and further develop our national network. We provide high-quality, informed support for all middle schools through the Forum's website, through the work of the Steering Committee and through the support offered by the Executive Officer.

If you have not yet become a member of the NMSF take a look at our history & aims page to see just why you should join us.

Middle Schools and Aspects of the New Ofsted Framework

 

Friday 22nd June 2012 : Broadway House, London 
   

We held two very successful day conferences in February where we began to consider the implications of the new Ofsted Framework for Inspection for middle schools.

 

Many delegates expressed an interest in finding out more about the new Behaviour and Safety category and we are grateful that Gill Jones, HMI, has kindly agreed to lead a further day in London which will consider this, together with a first look at the suggested requirements for Performance Management that form part of the current consultation, ‘A good education for all’, which are likely to come into force in September 2012.
