All schools are regularly inspected by Ofsted to ensure they are meeting the required standards.
Those failing to meet the standards are either ‘given notice to improve’ or put into ‘special measures’ or ‘serious weaknesses’ and given extra support (funding and consultancy time) to help them improve. They will have more frequent inspections than successful schools.
