3 September 2019 - Outstanding schools no longer to be exempt from Ofsted inspection

The government has announced that schools previously rated as outstanding will no longer be exempt from Ofsted inspections.

It will consult on how make this change and - subject to Parliamentary approval - bring them into the regular inspection cycle.

A National Audit Office report says that 296 schools have not been inspected for more than 10 years.  In the last academic year, 16% kept their outstanding status on inspection; in the previous year, the figure was 33%.
