Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether routine Ofsted inspections will resume in January 2021.
It is important for school inspections to start again in the new year but at the right time and in the right way. The Department is carefully considering with Ofsted and the sector how this can be achieved safely and sensitively, with a clear focus on provision for pupils whether in the classroom or remotely. Details of the plans will be made available soon.
