Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills, is a government body set up to inspect schools and other childcare/educational institutions and judge their effectiveness. Schools are inspected every few years. You can find out more about Ofsted at www.ofsted.gov.uk
Ofsted publishes its findings in reports, which contain both a written description and appraisal of the school, and a series of judgements of the school’s effectiveness in a wide range of areas for example, academic standards; pupil behaviour; school leadership etc.
In each area schools are judged on a score from 1 to 4, where
1 = Outstanding
2 = Good
3 = Requires Improvement
4 = Inadequate
In other words, the lower the score, the better.
You will find a link below to the schools previous Ofsted reports and a link to a leaflet for parents and carers on the inspection process. It gives information on why, how long and when they inspect, and also how parents and carers can share their views.
