Inspection of boarding and residential provision in schools

This is a consultation on Ofsted’s proposals for revisions to the framework for the inspections of boarding and residential provision in schools in England.

We are seeking the widest possible range of views to ensure that the revised framework takes into account the needs and circumstances of all those who have an interest or expertise in boarding and residential schools. We are particularly keen to hear from those who have been directly involved with boarding schools and residential special schools, including children and young people, staff, parents/carers and those who commission services.
