Focused provision 16 to 19: a survey of colleges with sixth form centres
This report examines the arrangements made by some general further education and tertiary colleges to provide at least some of their provision for 16-19-year-old students in a ‘focused’ way, notably through the establishment of sixth form centres. The report covers the findings of a survey by Ofsted of a sample of such colleges from October 2003 to February 2004. The structure of the report is based, in the main, on the Common Inspection Framework.

Food for thought: a survey of healthy eating in registered childcare
As a result of the increased interest in the quality of food provided for children in schools and childcare, Ofsted has looked at whether children in the paid daily care of others receive good-quality meals and whether they learn at an early age the benefits of a healthy diet. This report is based on analysis of a short survey of healthy eating carried out at 110 settings across England during the last two weeks of February 2006. It will be of particular interest to early years childcare providers, parents, carers, local authorities and the Department for Education and Skills.

Food technology in secondary schools
This report evaluates the effectiveness of provision in secondary schools for food technology within the National Curriculum subject, design and technology. It examines strengths and weaknesses in pupils' achievement and the tension between the teaching of food to develop life skills and using food as a means to teach design and technology. The report draws on inspection evidence collected by HMI between 2003 and 2005 and data from Ofsted's section 10 inspection database.

Forward from Special Measures
This publication should only be used as a historical reference as some content is out of date.
This report examines some of the challenges faced by schools when special measures have been removed, and the reactions and responses of the key players in sustaining the school's improvement: the staff of the school, governors, parents, pupils and local education authorities (LEAs). It discusses the different strategies employed to maintain progress during the first 12 months after special measures have been removed in an attempt to indicate what works.

Further education matters
In the summer of 2005, Ofsted and the Adult Learning Inspectorate completed the first cycle of inspections of further education colleges. The four years of the cycle saw an improvement in the colleges, slow at first, but later more rapid, as the colleges learned to respond more effectively to the challenge of inspection and reinspection.
