The streamlined framework will focus on four key areas: the achievement of pupils, the quality of teaching, the quality of leadership and management, and the behaviour and safety of pupils.
Subject to the passage of the Education Bill, 'outstanding' schools will no longer have routine inspections unless there are concerns about their performance. 'Good' schools will continue to be inspected in a five-year cycle and 'satisfactory' schools inspected every three years, unless particular concerns emerge. 'Inadequate' schools will be more closely monitored, with a re-inspection likely within a year.
Where the provision is managed by the school, the early years will be inspected as part of the overall school inspection and be included in a single inspection report, rather than separately.Where registered provision on a school's site is managed by a private, voluntary and/or independent provider, it will continue to be inspected separately.
