Do ofsted inadequate reports take longer to be published

[Tellmemore07]

I’m aware for good and outstanding they are usually available within a couple of weeks. Is this the case for places graded inadequate?

If they are being disputed then probably. Sometimes it’s because they’ve been selected for extra checks which can be any inspection at random.

I think that if the school challenges the report, it will inevitably delay publication.

I would imagine that a school with a low grading would want to show the assessment is wrong.

If a school is judged to be inadequate, the report can take up to 28 days. Then the school can challenge it before it’s published.

Could the report never be released? How long would you say the maximum wait for the report to come online?

I don’t know, but I would guess that if the report was challenged and amended, the original wouldn’t be published.

Have you looked on the Ofsted website?

I have known good.and outstanding reports take around the 4 week mark before publication.

He report has to wait to be independently verified before it can be published.

Yes I have it’s been about four weeks since the inspection.

School holidays don’t count in the 28 days to publish, my area has only been back 3 weeks, my schools OFSTED was carried out just before Easter and thanks to 2 holidays so close together, it was only published recently

A certain school near here's report has taken 3 months to come out. It isn't good. But there's something seriously dodgy going on behind the scenes with the inspectors having an ulterior motive and school have been challenging it.

But yeah. It isn't good for it to take too long

Ds school was inspected November last year, took until February for the report to be published. They required improvement.
