Ofsted to be investigated by the National Audit Office
An investigation assessing whether the watchdog Ofsted inspects schools efficiently and effectively is being conducted by the National Audit Office (NAO).
The investigation will conclude in spring next year, Tes has reported, and will also look at how the extent which Ofsted’s approach to school inspection is providing taxpayers with value for money.
The NAO will look at if the watchdog inspects its schools in an efficient manner, knows whether its inspections are having a positive impact and will see if Ofsted is well-placed to inspect schools efficiently and effectively.
In regards to the investigation, an Ofsted spokesperson told Tes: “As an inspectorate and regulator ourselves, Ofsted values independent scrutiny. We welcome the study, and look forward to working closely with the NAO."
