Does a change of Head trigger an Ofsted Inspection?

[KateBlush]

just that really...

Maybe not officially but it’s certainly a trend that I have noticed.
I suppose it depends on the length of time between inspections too.

It used to, in theory, but Ofsted are all over the place at the moment (metaphorically).

It didn't seem to at DS school. The went from a permanent headteacher, an interim head, and finally a permanent headteacher in the last 2 years.

No - school near us hasn’t been inspected since 2007 and had more than one new head since then!

No. Our head left after Ofsted (it retained Outstanding), we've not been inspected since - 7 years ago.

No. Ours left after 2 terms and new one turned up a term later no sniff of ofsted.

No. Our latest HT has been in post 5 years + and no inspection during that time.

Ofsted have a huge backlog at the moment, so doubt this would trigger an inspection

No

I'm a school governor, and we have had 2 changes of head since our last ofsted inspection. Not expecting a visit any time soon either!

No.

My dad's school was last inspected in 2007, interim 2010. Nothing since.

There've been three heads in that time.

My son is in Y11 and there have been two changes of head, but no inspection since he has been at the school.

I’m interested too. DC at Parmiter’s. Head leaving in Spring. Not inspected for many years.

Dcs school inspected in 2012. Two changes of head and a change to an academy and no re-inspection.

However, an inspection more often will lead to change of headteacher!
