Outstanding Grade

[TORO]

Hi all,

 

Is it true that if a nursery gets outstanding they don't get inspected or subjected to the 3 yearly inspections again.?

Hi, in schools it can mean only 'light touch' inspections in the short term.

 

I bet you loads of money the whole Ofsted regime is going to get a shake up very soon, though, I can just feel it 'in my waters' as the saying goes.

The private part of the nursery provision I work in got outstanding for its nursery education in May 2008.

 

In February 2009 we were inspected again, as part of the school and the maintained nursery provision because laws and regualtions had changed!

 

I have never heard that if you got outstanding you wouldn't be done again!!

 

It would be worth aiming for though!!!!

i believe that there was something of the sort printed about academies - although there are several academies in difficulties, and some of those are shrtly after outstanding

It depends especially now Tribal have taken over. When we got ours inspector did say it was 'likely' that our next inspection 3yrs plus would be not as in depth depending on if there were changes in management/complaints etc.......
