20 years in the headlines – review follows Ofsted from 1992

An overview of the role of Ofsted since its inception in 1992 is published today by RISE (Research and Information on State Education) as part of its RISE reviews series.

The review is a valuable study of an organisation which has hardly been out of the news since its start. It has been written by Adrian Elliott, former headteacher, school inspector and author of State Schools Since the 1950s: The Good News.
