7 May 2021 Ofsted announce that MAT summary evaluations are likely to resume in early 2022

Ofsted's summary evaluations of multi-academy trusts are likely to resume in early 2022, the chief inspector has said

Amanda Spielman told the Confederation of School Trusts that Ofsted would resume the evaluations 'as soon as we can'

Trust summary evaluations allow Ofsted to assess the quality of education and leadership within trusts, based on inspectors' visits to a number of schools within them

The evaluations were temporarily suspended at the start of the pandemic in March 2020
