Ofsted visits will be done remotely during lockdown

Ofsted has said it will conduct its visits remotely during the second lockdown from Thursday.

Making the announcement on twitter, Ofsted said:  “During the national lockdown we will undertake our work remotely where we can – only going on site where it is necessary to do so, or in response to urgent concerns.”

Ofsted's visits involve inspectors visit mostly ‘inadequate’ schools to talk to leaders about running the school during the pandemic. While grades aren’t awarded, the watchdog does publish letters summarising the visit.
