News story: Ofsted launches new point-in-time questionnaires
The questionnaires are for children and young people as well as parents, carers and staff.
Ofsted has today (Thursday 31 August) issued its annual point-in-time questionnaires about the residential provision of boarding schools, residential special schools, and further education colleges.
Ofsted inspectors want to hear what children and young people, their parents and carers, and staff have to say about the boarding or residential provision of these schools and further education colleges. Their responses will help inform future inspections.
Questions for children and young people include:
- do staff look after you well?
- do you feel safe inside your school or college accommodation?
- can you talk to staff about what you think?
Ofsted is asking for responses by Thursday 12 October.
Schools and colleges should provide children and young people, their parents and carers, and staff with a link to the questionnaire. Alternatively, anyone wishing to offer their views can contact Ofsted on 0300 123 1231 (select option 5 and then option 2) or email enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk.
