Abstract
There is an astonishing lack of academic research into what is working well and what needs to improve in the Ofsted inspection system of the Further Education and Skills (FES) sector. This study adds new evidence by exploring the impact of FES’s key external accountability lever provided by Ofsted inspections and its Education Inspection Framework (EIF) judging colleges and other providers’ performance. Our research explores the views of tutors, lecturers, teachers, governors, middle managers, vice principals, deputy principals, and principals on Ofsted inspection in further education colleges. The research contributes new evidence about the impacts, strengths and weaknesses of Ofsted inspections and the EIF through a survey and interviews with stakeholders. We aim to highlight where improvements can be made and a better system can be built through recommendations for policy and practice.
