Ofsted is in talks with the government on the best way to share tutoring “best insights” from school inspections, but insist they will never be “tuition compliance police”.
Sandra Hayes, a senior schools inspector, told the Festival of Education they have an “important role” to share their evidence from school inspections.
Inspectors now consider how tutoring deployed by schools “supports the aims of the school curriculum”, but it’s not inspected “in its own right”.
Ofsted’s third and final education recovery research report is due to be published next week. The watchdog is also conducting an independent review of tutoring – due this summer.
