The Education (Schools) Act 1992 (c. 38) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which set up a system of school inspections by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools in England (now Ofsted) or the equivalent in Wales (now Estyn). The reports written by independent inspection teams and published by Ofsted are made public and the inspections are carried out according to a National Framework to ensure consistency across the country. Subsequently the legislation was brought together in the School Inspections Act 1996 that designated it to be a six-year cycle.
Subsequent developments The whole act, except sections 16, 17 and 21(5) and paragraphs 1 and 4–6 of schedule 4, was repealed by section 47(2) of, and schedule 7 to, the School Inspections Act 1996, which came into force on 1 November 1996.
