Schools or organisations are inspected every four years or 30 months depending on their status.
Ofsted - the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills - inspects and reports on anywhere that provides education for young people in England, including schools, nurseries and childminders. Many parents rely on Ofsted ratings to help them choose a school or nursery. More than four out of five teachers in England believe a new system of inspection should be introduced because Ofsted has “many problems”, a survey suggests.
The survey, carried out between February 6 and 20, suggests only 3% of teachers believe Ofsted acts as a “reliable and trusted arbiter of standards” and just 4% believe it acts independently of Government. More than four in five agreed with a statement that said Ofsted has so many problems that it “would be better to start afresh with a new system of inspection”.
