Question on ofsted reports


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how often Ofsted reviews take place? I understand that there was a new reform from September 2015 where good or above institutions were to be reviewed every 3 years. Having looked at a lot of schools in the recent months it appears that several of them have reports from 2012. Should that not mean that a newer one (2015) should now be available for the public to view?


This is just a general point of interest by the way, obviously the choices are already made by now (and I must admit that Ofsted reports themselves were of little importance to us as we made them). I just had a read now out of interest and it appeared that a lot of them are rather dated and may not give an entirely accurate view of the current situation at a school.


Can anyone enlighten me?

If a school was rated as good at it's last inspection, I understand that they won't be inspected again for 3 years. And I hear that OFSTED are currently a bit behind on their schedules - hence it's going a bit over 3 years.


I wouldn't get too concerned by the lack of up to date reports. The schools all know that it's getting tougher to get good / outstanding so they should all be trying to make sure they're inspection ready in case that call comes. So possibly a good thing to draw out that period!!

Hi, it can be 5-6 years between full Ofsted inspections if a school has been judged good or outstanding. A mini-inspection is done after around 3 years and if this is of the same level or better than the original inspection than it will be another 2-3 years until a full inspection. If the mini-inspecion raises concerns, this would trigger a full inspection. Schools rated below good have more frequent inspections.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
