Has your primary school had an Ofsted in the last 18 months?

If so, can you tell me how long the gap was since the previous inspection?

Ta,

June 2003 + this term. That's just under 5 years.

Have a look on the Ofsted website - a lot havnt been done since 2004.

It's supposed to be around 3 years between ofsteds. More often for schools in serious weaknesses and special measures

Thanks. I've been looking on the website and all the local schools have been 'done' since my boys' primary was.

So I guess they are well and truly due a visit.

We were done 2 years ago, but the head and deputy work on the basis that we'll be done again in the next year to 18 months.

Ours was done a fortnight ago - last time was 2004.

3 years, even when school is judged outstanding in all areas. Much less focus on the classrooms this time, more on the SMT.

Three years. But the lastest was only a one day inspection focusing on specific areas.

New ofteds are more into SMT than classrooms now
