Recommendation 49
49
Authorise Ofsted to urgently develop a framework for Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) inspections and capacity plan.
Conclusion
The Department must authorise Ofsted to develop a framework for the inspection of MATs as a matter of urgency and set out a plan for building the appropriate expertise and capacity in this area. Ofsted will need to be appropriately resourced to develop their expertise in this respect and should continue to ensure that all individual schools are assessed on a consistent basis whether or not they are part of a MAT.
