Details

The main principle behind the 2017 strategy is that Ofsted exists to be ‘a force for improvement through intelligent, responsible and focused inspection and regulation’.

Our work should be:

  • intelligent – our work will be evidence-led, with valid and reliable evaluation tools and frameworks
  • responsible – we will try to reduce inspection burdens and make our expectations and findings clear
  • focused – we will target our time and resources where they can lead directly to improvement
