Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) inspects all state schools in England at least every three years. After the inspection is done, Ofsted publishes a report which is available to the public. OFSTED will make a graded judgement against the following areas 

• Overall effectiveness
• Quality of Education
• Behaviour and Attitudes
• Personal Development
• Leadership And Management

 When assessing these areas Ofsted inspectors will consider:

• the school’s assessment of its own performance
• performance data
• pupils’ work
• lesson observations
• input from parents
• discussions with pupils and staff
