Annual report

Ofsted's Annual Report presents the findings of inspection and regulatory visits made during the previous inspection year. It assesses the quality and standards found across the full range of Ofsted's work, including care, early education, schools, colleges, adult learning and skills, and children’s services.

Annual Report 2009/10

You can download the The Annual Report of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills 2009/10: it is available as a single PDF and five section PDFs.

On the day the Annual Report is published, we also publish a full list of those providers whose work with children, young people and adult learners has been found by inspectors to be of outstanding quality during the inspection year. For the current list of Outstanding Providers go to the Outstanding Providers page.
