Minutes:
Only 1 inspection had been completed this term. This was at Pippins Primary, and rated the school as ‘good’. Inspectors stated that it was close to receiving an ‘outstanding’ grading.
The frequencies of Ofsted inspections were highly variable. Some in SBC’s area had not been seen for a decade. Officially, those rated as ‘good’ would be inspected at least once every 3 years, whilst those rated as ‘requires improvement’ would be subject to regular monitoring visits.
Resolved: That the update be noted.
