Details

You can also read Ofsted EIF inspections and the EYFS what those delivering the EYFS in schools need to know about inspection, the EYFS and the pandemic.

This handbook is primarily a guide for inspectors on how to carry out inspections of maintained schools and academies under section 5 and section 8 of the Education Act 2005.

We also publish this for schools and other interested parties so that they are aware of Ofsteds inspection processes and procedures under the education inspection framework (EIF).

We have also published guidance for monitoring inspections, along with Inspecting schools: guide for maintained and academy schools.
