DFE Performance Table

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.



Ofsted is 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 their 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.
