Ofsted’s consultation report on the draft inspection proposals (Better Inspection For All, Ofsted, February 2015) cited high levels of support for the proposed changes and so they are set to go ahead with little alteration. The key points to emphasise are as follows:
The Common Inspection Framework will apply to both state and independent sectors and all remits from EYFS to post-16 (but will differ in relevant content).
All remits will be inspected against four main headings (see later).
Non-association independent schools will each be inspected within three years.
Outstanding schools, but not special schools or nurseries remain outside inspection.
Good schools will have more frequent short inspections by a single HMI.
