Ofsted

The current Ofsted Inspection framework came into effect on 1st September 2019. Ofsted confirmed during the summer of 2020 that inspections would take place during the 2020-2021 academic year, with inspectors looking at the management of the return to school in the Autumn term and formal inspections expected to begin again in January. Please see the links and Ofsted case studies below for further guidance.
