Statistics release cancelled

We have cancelled this official statistics release. The current Area SEND inspection framework came into force on 1 January 2023, as this is a new framework we anticipate there will be a small volume of inspections to report on for the period 1 January 2023 to 31 August 2023. We intend to publish the outcomes of these inspections as management information in late 2023, with an official statistics release in 2024 when a higher volume of inspections have been completed. If you have any comments about the proposal set out here, or about our existing Area SEND statistical publications, please get in touch at: data.AreaSEND@ofsted.gov.uk
