Forthcoming surveys
Ofsted carries out an annual programme of subject and thematic surveys alongside its main inspection program of providers such as schools and nurseries. For a list of recently published surveys go to the Surveys page on the left.
The table below lists surveys that we have commissioned as part of our ongoing survey programme. Where a title is a hyperlink further information is available about what the survey is about and when it will take place.
The 2013-14 survey programme is currently being finalised. Further details will be available shortly.
