Summary
The Common inspection framework for further education and skills 2009 – the common inspection framework – was devised by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector in line with the Education and Inspection Act 2006.
It is based on the common evaluation schedule which informs all of Ofsted’s inspections. It sets out the judgements inspectors will make during inspection.
The document available from this page is a summary of the key features of the full common inspection framework, which is published separately as part of the Handbook for the inspection of further education and skills from September 2009.
The handbook has two parts.
- Part 1: Guidance for inspectors and providers on the preparation for, and conduct of, inspections.
- Part 2: The full common inspection framework and guidance on how it will be used by inspectors to award the main and contributory grades.
