Ofsted Reports
The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) inspects all state schools in England at least every three years.
After the inspection is done, Ofsted publishes a report which is available to the public.
The report also suggests what the school should do to improve. The school is expected to use Ofsted's recommendations as a basis for making improvements as quickly as possible.
