Details

This relates to the common inspection framework, which we used until September 2019. We now inspect under the education inspection framework. Anything relating to the old framework will remain online until October 2019 for reference purposes only.

This handbook described how Ofsted inspectors carried out inspections of non-association independent schools under the common inspection framework: education, skills and early years’. It sets out the evaluation criteria that inspectors used to make their judgements and on which they report.
