Ofsted has announced its inspection plans from September 2020. They will be carrying out a phased return to inspection, starting with an interim period of visits during the autumn term. These visits will not be graded, the outcomes of the discussions with the school and colleges will be published in a letter for parents to see. They intend to resume full inspections in January 2021, and are keeping the exact timing under review. An article from their Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman, about their plans can be read here. Their guidance for education providers about these new plans can be read here. A collection of their announcements and guidance documents is available here.
