Inspection
The Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) inspects schools in Northern Ireland and publishes a report on each inspection. Its reports of 2012 to 2020 sum up their findings in a table, shown here in ETI’s own words; earlier and later reports give written findings only. Nothing here is set beside an Ofsted outcome.
