Ofsted Overview
Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They inspect and regulate services that care for children and young people, and services providing education and skills for learners of all ages.
Every week, they carry out hundreds of inspections and regulatory visits throughout England and publish the results online. Their goal is to achieve excellence in education and skills for learners of all ages, and in the care of children and young people.
They are responsible for:
- inspecting maintained schools and academies, some independent schools, and many other educational institutions and programmes outside of higher education
- inspecting childcare, adoption and fostering agencies and initial teacher training
- publishing reports of our findings so they can be used to improve the overall quality of education and training
- regulating a range of early years and children’s social care services, making sure they’re suitable for children and potentially vulnerable young people
- reporting to policymakers on the effectiveness of these services

Catholic Schools Inspectorate
Roman Catholic Schools within the United Kingdom, are inspected under Section 48 or Section 50 of the Educations Act 2005 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukga/2005/18/section/48).
The Catholic Schools Inspectorate (CSI) statutory inspections are explained in Ofsted's School Inspection Handbook. Inspections are carried out by Diocesan Catholic Schools Inspectors acting on behalf of the Bishop of Middlesbrough. Inspectors represent the Bishop and therefore must be practising Catholics in full communion with the Catholic Church.
In the instance where the Diocesan School is part Roman Catholic and part Church of England, the school will be inspected under a specific joint framework. The new framework will be issued in due course.
