Updated: Updated the ‘what happens after the inspection’ section to reflect the handbook for conducting additional inspections of independent schools. Clarified the text in the ‘online inspection survey' section to explain what happens following a material change inspection.

This leaflet is for registered and proposed new independent schools. It sets out what Ofsted inspectors will look at during pre-registration and material change inspections.
