This consultation seeks your views on our proposed reforms to inspecting early years, state-funded schools (including maintained schools, academies and free schools), non-association independent schools, further education and skills and initial teacher education.
We welcome responses both from individuals and from those submitting on behalf of an organisation. The survey includes an option to specify this.
- Part 1 of this survey is about how we report. This is relevant to all those who use our inspection reports, particularly parents and carers.
- Part 2 of this survey is about what we look at when we inspect and how we carry out inspections. This part is particularly relevant to those working in the areas we inspect. Parents and carers may choose to skip this section.
In our consultation analyses and response, we will provide breakdowns only at the level of the areas we inspect. In the methodology section, we will provide an overview of how many children and learners, parents and carers, education professionals and 'others' responded to the survey. We will use any additional information gathered, such as types of provider, to monitor reach across the various sectors we inspect.
Closing date
This consultation closes at 11:59pm on 28 April 2025.
