OFSTED inspection over a year overdue...

My child's school was last inspected February 2016 - it's been well over 3 years, what's taking them so long?? It's not an outstanding school, it was rated "Needs improvement" last time, so it's definitely not exempt. Is this normal?

They have rather a backlog of schools which have not been inspected for over ten years.

Is your child happy there ?
As that is what really matters

Totally normal. OFSTED is never quite when you expect it. Poor staff must be permanently on edge.
