Ofsted for Governors
"We don’t do what we do, schools or governing bodies, because Ofsted are coming…..we do what we do because we care about young people’s education and welfare"
Ofsted is responsible for inspecting maintained schools and academies to make sure that they are providing a high standard of education.
Earlier this year Ofsted consulted on proposed changes to the way it inspects schools and other education providers. Following feedback from parents and the sector, Ofsted’s reforms will take effect on 10 November 2025. Routine inspections will be introduced on or after 1 December following an initial focus on volunteer schools.
