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.

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
