Re-visit of Kent County Council from 27 September to 29 September 2022

Two Longfield Academy students, a boy and a girl, are seen walking alongside one another, outdoors on the academy grounds.

Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will carry out jointly a re-visit of the local area following the previous inspection that took place between 28 January and 1 February 2019.

The re-visit will evaluate how effectively leaders have addressed the areas of significant weaknesses detailed in the written statement of action (WSOA). The revisit will be carried out in line with updated guidance about the return to Area SEND inspection.

During the re-visit, Ofsted and CQC inspectors will be keen to speak to as many children and young people and their parents and carers as possible, specifically about the weaknesses identified in the WSOA. These meetings may take place online.
