Ofsted inspection
Ofsted aims to improve lives by raising standards in education and children’s social care.
They are responsible for:

- The inspection of agencies responsible for adoption, fostering and other social care services
- The inspection of other services for children and young people
- Carrying out research on education and social care
- Reporting on the above institutions and relaying the information to the government
What happens during an inspection?
Inspectors will talk to a range of pupils and staff about important aspects of the school’s work. Inspectors will also take account of external views of the school’s performance. This may include any evaluation of the school’s performance by the local authority.
