Regulation 5 Notification of inspection
Where an inspection is arranged, the appropriate authority shall take such steps as are reasonably practicable to notify—
in the case of a maintained school which is not a grant-maintained school and for which the governing body is the appropriate authority, an appropriate officer of the local education authority;
in the case of a maintained school for which the local education authority is the appropriate authority, the chairman of the governing body;
in the case of a voluntary school or a grant-maintained school which, immediately before it became a grant-maintained school, was a voluntary school, the person who appoints the school’s foundation governors;
in the case of a special school which is not maintained by a local education authority, or an independent school approved by the Secretary of State under section 11(3)(a) of the Education Act 1981f1, an appropriate officer of any local authority which is paying fees to the school in respect of a registered pupil at the school;
in the case of any other school, the Secretary of State; and
in the case of a secondary school, the Training and Enterprise Council for the area in which the school is located, and such members of the local business community as the appropriate authority think fit, after considering whether it would be desirable to include in particular members who have recently employed former pupils of the school
of the time when the inspection is to take place.
