Probably that they are not inspected by OFSTED, many private schools are not but are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspection Agency.

Private schools aren't inspected by Ofsted.

You should find a report here

Ofsted do inspect early years provisions of private schools (nursery and reception).

Go to the ISI website and look up the school there under the relvant letter in the top bar. The last ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) report is usually downloadable there.

Only if they accept the nursery vouchers Mollie

defying do you mean from the LEA or childcare vouchers. Ours accepts both and was inspected by Ofsted.

Thanks. Found the Ofsted Report, but for the Early Years, not the Junior School. They have three separate sites and addresses for their Nursery, Junior and Senior School. The only Ofsted Report found is Outstanding, but for the Nursery School.

From the LEA the ones you canget up until they turn 5. Some private schools have opted out of the vouchers becasue of the red tape onvolved.

Ours accepts them and so has reception class inspeted and the rest of the school by ISIC.

Sounds like ds's school. Three separate sites too.

Ofsted for nursery and reception, ISI for rest of school. Perfectly normal. In fact the ISI reports tend to be more detailed than Ofsted ime.

Great! Mollie you are a star!I followed your link... Found the entire report for all three sites. Thanks.
