Q Did ISI complete the current inspection cycle by the end of the summer term 2023?
A

We can confirm that we have now completed the inspection cycle which started in April 2016​. 

Schools which have been in continuous membership of an association since the start of the cycle will have had two routine inspections in that time. For other schools timing of their inspections will depend on a number of factors (when a school joined its association and therefore ISI, the timing and type of its inspections with their previous inspectorate, and specific commissions from the Department for Education). 

The cycle we have just completed was also extended due to the pandemic suspension of inspection meaning that the inspection interval for some schools will be more than the usual approximately three years.
