Recommendation 31

31 Paragraph: 114

Track compliance with provider access legislation and ensure consistent Ofsted application across schools.

Conclusion
The Department should directly track compliance with the new provider access legislation and ensure that the appropriate action, as set out in the statutory guidance, is taken when schools are failing to comply. We recognise that Ofsted is not awarding “outstanding” grades to schools not complying with the Baker Clause—it must now ensure that this is being applied consistently across all schools to the new provider access legislation.
