Education Act 2005
The Education Act 2005 (c. 18) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Introduced under the second Tony Blair government, it was enacted in order to simplify the process of school improvement, strengthening the accountability framework for schools, in particular by amending the approach used by Ofsted when inspecting schools in England. This Act repealed the provisions of the School Inspections Act 1996.
The Act also brought about changes to the role of the Teacher Training Agency, broadened the need for local education authorities to invite proposals for new schools, and introduced three-year budgets for maintained schools.
Section 5 states that the Chief Inspector of Schools is to inspect "to which the section applies" with intervals as may be "prescribed". When inspecting a school, the Chief Inspector has at "all reasonable times" a right of entry to the school's premises.
When an inspector deems that a school is in "significant improvement", the school must draw up an action plan in order to address the recommendations made.
The following commencement orders have been made for this act:
