The purpose of inspections (cont.) The inspection results in a published report. This tells the school, parents and wider community whether the requirements for registration are met, and provides the school with an independent, external view of its strengths and weaknesses. Inspectors tell the school what it does well and what it must do in order to improve, making clear why they have come to their conclusions. All Ofsted inspections are based on the following principles: • Inspection acts in the interests of children, young people and adult learners and, where relevant their parents, to encourage high quality provision that meets diverse needs and promotes equality. • Inspection is evaluative and diagnostic, assessing quality and compliance and providing a clear basis for improvement. • The purpose of inspection and the procedures to be used are communicated clearly to those involved. |
• Inspection invites and takes account of any self-evaluation by those inspected. • Inspection informs those responsible for taking decisions about provision. • Inspection is carried out by those who have sufficient and relevant professional expertise and training. • Evidence is recorded and is of sufficient range and quality to secure and justify judgements • Judgements are based on systematic evaluation requirements and criteria, are reached corporately where more than one inspector is involved, and reflect a common understanding in Ofsted about quality. < Back | Page 2 of 4 | Next > |
