Paragraph 9 F1F2
England and Wales
Where a section 9 inspection by a registered inspector has been completed, the inspector shall make in writing a report of the inspection and a summary of the report.
Where the inspector is of the opinion that special measures are required to be taken in relation to the school he shall submit a draft of the report of the inspection to the Chief Inspector.
If the Chief Inspector so requests, an inspector who has submitted a draft under sub-paragraph (2) shall provide the Chief Inspector with such further information as the Chief Inspector may specify.
The Chief Inspector shall inform an inspector who has submitted a draft under sub-paragraph (2) whether he agrees or disagrees with the inspector’s opinion.
Where—
the Chief Inspector informs the inspector that he disagrees with the inspector’s opinion, but
the inspector remains of the opinion that special measures are required to be taken in relation to the school,
the inspector may not make a report expressing that opinion unless the terms in which he makes the report are substantially the same (except as to the statement required by sub-paragraph (7)(b)) as the draft or as a subsequent draft submitted to the Chief Inspector under this sub-paragraph.
Where a subsequent draft is submitted under sub-paragraph (5), the Chief Inspector shall inform the inspector whether he agrees or disagrees with the inspector’s opinion.
A report made by a registered inspector who is of the opinion that special measures are required to be taken in relation to the school shall—
state his opinion, and
state whether the Chief Inspector agrees or disagrees with his opinion.
If a report of an inspection of a school by a registered inspector is made in circumstances where—
he is of the opinion that special measures are not required to be taken in relation to the school, but
in the latest report of an inspection of the school, the person making the report stated that in his opinion such measures were required to be taken and either that person was a member of the Inspectorate or the report stated that the Chief Inspector agreed with his opinion,
the person making the report shall state his opinion in the report.
