The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) inspects and regulates services which care for children and young people, and those providing education and skills for learners of all ages.
Ofsted carries out an annual programme of subject and thematic surveys alongside its institutional and other inspections. The survey programme serves a range of purposes. A survey provides an opportunity to focus on specific issues in greater detail than is possible during an institutional inspection. Alternatively, it may explore an aspect that is not currently subject to an inspection programme.
Ofsted is also able, through its surveys, to evaluate the impact on providers and learners of recent policy developments. In good practice surveys, Ofsted highlights the features of what works well to promote quality improvement.
The pages in this section provide direct links to the survey reports as published on Ofsted’s website.
