OFSTED has the primary responsibility for monitoring that legal and professional requirements are being met, in particular to examine health and safety practice. During an inspection, inspectors will not only record and report on any aspects observed that in their opinion constitute a threat or risk to health and safety, but also ... 

Any report indicating that schools are failing in certain areas will require immediate action. If this action is not forthcoming, then the Health and Safety Executive may be alerted. As OFSTED reports are public documents, any serious breach of statutory requirements may, in due course, lead to an increase in litigation.

OFSTED (1995) Guidance on the Inspection of Nursery and Primary Schools, London HMSO. 

The Report described training for teachers as inadequate and reiterated the serious flaws in the SEN system (p. 40), identified by the Audit Commission (2002) and Ofsted (2004) reports, relating to standards and consistency of provision, the statutory assessment process, fair access to schools and outcomes for children. The Committee declared that it found it both surprising and highly concerning (p. 40) that these problems had still not been addressed. 

In spite of this victory , Summerhill continues to be placed under surveillance by Ofsted because of an unwillingness to tolerate difference of this kind within the education system. This is, as I have suggested, an unusual school which is not part of the state sector and there are few, if any, schools elsewhere in which students would get such freedom to choose when and what they learn. It is, however, an important example and a powerfully interesting experiment (Purves, 2000, p. 96) because it illustrates that eveu wheu young people are given such extreme degrees of freedom, they do not descend into disorder.

These five key outcomes now form the basis for the stmaures of the Children s Services departments in local authorities and for future OFSTED inspeaions. 

In 2004 OFSTED produced a report. Special Educational Needs and Disability - Towards Inclusive Schools, which looked at the extent to which the vision of inclusion is becoming a reality in schools. One of its main findings was that The admission and retention of pupils with social and behavioural difficulties continue to test the inclusion policies of schools. ...

This chapter looks at how measuring and evaluating the effectiveness and impact of your inclusion strategy and policy is an essential part of making inclusion happen. Self-evaluation is now key to the new OFSTED inspection framework. Shorter inspections will mean a much greater focus on the ability of schools to undertake effective self-evaluation. A range of self-evaluation approaches and tools are considered, and advice is offered on how to complete Self-Evaluation Forms. 

There are many different approaches to self-evaluation and inclusion, with a range of tools, performance indicators and targets available to schools. It is important to adopt a self-evaluation strategy and a range of tools which best fit the nature and context of your school. Self-evaluation is about helping schools ensure continuous improvement and should not be undertaken solely for the purpose of inspection OFSTED recognises the importance of self-evaluation as a continuous process that is complemented from time to time by external inspection Every Child Matters - Framework for the Inspection of Schools in England from September 2005 - OFSTED, 2005).
