How long until the next inspection?

Schools that require improvement are normally inspected within 30 months of the latest inspection report. They may also receive monitoring visits.

We can also inspect at any time if we have concerns.

We normally give notice the afternoon of the working day before an inspection. We can also inspect schools without notice.
