The Inspection Process

Inspections normally occur every six years. ISI inspection teams are drawn from a pool of serving or recently-retired independent school headteachers and senior teachers, Ofsted Registered Inspectors and retired HM Inspectors. All ISI inspectors have passed a special training course. Each inspection team is led by a reporting inspector who is normally a retired HMI, an Ofsted Registered Inspector or a very experienced serving or recently retired independent school headteacher.
