Ofsted Inspection
"Inspectors judge a school's performance against standards known to be achieved by similar schools or pupils elsewhere, taking account of the context of the school.
Subject to a school's compliance with statutory requirements, inspectors do not expect schools to conform to a common pattern of provision. Schools are judged on how well they fulfil their aims and on whether these aims are appropriate to their context and the needs of the pupils in the school.
Inspectors assess and report on the quality of teaching and educational provision generally."
