A focus on improvement: proposals for further education and skills system inspections from September 2009

Arrangements for the inspection of non-association independent schools
Ofsted's public consultation was primarily web-based. It was supplemented by detailed feedback from schools and inspectors who had been involved in the trial inspections which were held in the summer and autumn terms of this year. A small number of respondents chose to write directly to Ofsted giving their views. The consultation followed guidance from the Better Regulation Executive.

The calendar will be updated regularly. Completed consultations will be kept for a year so people can refer back to the findings.

Engagement with Ofsted: a report on the responses to consultation
The Education and Inspections Act 2006 requires us to carry out our work in ways that encourage the services we inspect and regulate to be user focused. In response to this duty, a new user and stakeholder engagement strategy has been developed. The development of this strategy has been shaped by consulting with a wide range of Ofsted’s users, providers and stakeholders between February and June 2008. This report outlines the responses to the consultation.

Indicators of a school’s contribution to well-being
As signalled in the Children’s Plan and in the well-being guidance, the DCSF and Ofsted have been working to develop strong school-level indicators of pupils’ well-being. These indicators will improve the information available to schools to help them assess the well-being issues their pupils face and to evaluate the school’s contribution to promoting pupil well-being. Ofsted will be looking for evidence from all schools on well-being and therefore the indicators will apply to all maintained schools, primary, secondary, special and Pupil Referral Units and to academies.
DCSF and Ofsted have now launched a consultation paper with proposals about those indicators.
Responses are requested by 16 January 2009.
