Ofsted reports

Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills.

They inspect services that care for young people and those that educate learners of all ages.

Services that Ofsted inspect:

• maintained schools and academies,
• some independent schools
• educational institutions and programmes outside of higher education.
• childcare, adoption and fostering agencies
• initial teacher training

Ofsted regulate a range of early years and children’s social care services, making sure they’re suitable for children and potentially vulnerable young people.

From September 2019, Ofsted is changing how it inspects schools.  Find out more about its new education inspection framework (EIF).
