The latest information New policy statement for inspection new schools and schools that undergo a change in status June 17 Consultation on the proposals for changes to the short inspection approach for good schools Consultation closes Thursday 18 August 2017 (implementation October 2017) The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education

The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education Consultation Proposed operational changes to improve the conversion process. 1. When a short inspection converts, the full inspection will be completed within a maximum of 15 working days, rather than 48 hours. 2. A full inspection will automatically take place in around 1 in 5 cases where Ofsted has prior evidence that a school is in complex circumstances. The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education

Background information Since their introduction, two thirds of short inspections have confirmed that the school continues to be a good school without the need for any additional inspection activity Approximately three in 10 short inspections convert to a section 5 inspection. The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education

The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education Proposal 1 When a short inspection converts, the full inspection will be completed within a maximum of 15 working days, rather than 48 hours. The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education

The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education Proposal 2 Some good schools will receive a section 5 inspection from the outset instead of a short inspection if published information, Ofsted’s regional intelligence and Ofsted’s risk assessment process indicate that there will be a need to collect more evidence than is routinely gathered on a short inspection to reach a judgement about the school. All other good schools will continue to receive a short inspection. The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education

The SDBE – Developing Church of England Education A full inspection will automatically take place in around 1 in 5 cases where Ofsted has prior evidence that a school is in complex circumstances. In about 20% of cases, before a short inspection takes place it is already clear that a school is facing complex circumstances that warrant a full inspection.
