Who are Ofsted?

The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) inspects schools to provide an independent assessment of the quality and standards of education in schools and check whether pupils are achieving as much as they can.

Inspectors will make judgements on the following:

  • Overall effectiveness
  • The 4 key judgements:

    ~ the quality of education
    ~ behaviour and attitudes
    ~ personal development
    ~ leadership and management

  • Where relevant, judgements are made on the quality of provision in:

    ~ early years education
    ~ the sixth form


Inspectors use the following 4-point scale to make all judgements:

Grade 1: Outstanding

Grade 2: Good

Grade 3: Requires Improvement

Grade 4: Inadequate
