RAAC-related Ofsted deferrals to continue this term
Ofsted has said that schools with RAAC present will be able to defer inspections this summer term if they wish to.
In September last year, Ofsted released a statement saying that it will avoid inspecting any education setting that is on the Department for Education’s published list of education settings affected by RAAC in the Autumn term.
Ofsted has updated this statement to say that: "This summer term, a school that has confirmed RAAC in some of their buildings will be eligible for Ofsted inspection, however this will be sufficient grounds to defer the inspection, should the school wish to."
Schools that do not have confirmed RAAC but may still be impacted by RAAC, for example where a school is hosting pupils from schools that have RAAC, Ofsted said it will carefully consider any requests for a deferral.
Ofsted added that it retains the right to inspect any setting, including those affected by RAAC, if it has concerns.
