Ofsted deferred

[Voiceofreason92]

Has anyone's school ever deferred an OSTED visit? If so, how long until they came back? And did they call later in the week

We had an OFSTED deferred a couple of years ago. They came back about ten weeks later

Yes, we were merging from an infants into a primary with the junior school next door.
We had the phone call in the summer term. They didn't come back for around 2 years.

4 weeks later here.
We were told that as deferral could trigger inspection Monday, Tues or Wednesday. As it happens, it was a Monday.

About 10 weeks later. 5 of those were the summer holidays.

Know of a school where Ofsted had to defer twice. First call was July, school was inspected around beginning of October I think.

My school deferred a couple of weeks before Christmas as we had key staff off sick, they came back 2nd week after Christmas.
