Article summary

Ofsted has launched a consultation on changes to official statistics on non-association independent school inspections and outcomes in England. Ofsted has proposed three changes to the data and publication, with the changes to take effect from its next publication in November 2023. The three proposed changes are the addition of a new ‘school type’ category, providing revised underlying data for previous years and to include previous inspection outcomes in the in-year inspection data. Ofsted has said that the proposed changes will ‘improve the quality and clarity of this publication’ and improve ‘transparency by providing an additional dataset’. The consultation closes on 8 September 2023.
