Schools: Inspections
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made about the potential merits of making all Ofsted inspections unannounced.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Ofsted typically gives a short period of notice of its inspections. This supports the effective conduct of the inspection visit. Ofsted also has the ability to inspect without notice where it has concerns about a provider.
