Ofsted

Ofsted inspects schools to provide information to parents, to promote improvement and to hold schools to account for the public money they receive. School inspections are required by law. Ofsted provide an independent assessment of the quality and standards of education in schools, and check whether pupils are achieving as much as they can.

As part of the pre-opening process, the school was visited by Ofsted for a pre-registration check.  In addition, a Readiness to Open meeting was conducted with representatives from the Department for Education.  

Free schools are inspected in the same way as other schools, under the same Ofsted framework with the first inspection taking place after two years of opening.
