Schools: Inspections
(asked on 9th January 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many schools in England and Wales have not been inspected by OFSTED in the last 10 years for which figures are available.
The Education Act 2011 provided that schools can be exempt from routine inspection on the basis of having been judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted at their last full inspection under section 5. Outstanding schools are exempt from routine inspection as long as they maintain their high standards. There are 106 outstanding schools which have not been inspected in the last 10 years.
In addition, there are a number of new schools, yet to be inspected by Ofsted as set out in the table below:
