• schools previously judged ‘good’ will now receive a short inspection approximately every four years rather than every three years
• schools judged ‘requires improvement’, ‘serious weaknesses’ or ‘special measures’ will be re-inspected within 30 months (previously the timeframes were 30, 18 and 24 months respectively) while monitoring inspections will continue as before
