asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list in the Official Report those independent schools inspected by Her Majesty's inspectors for the purposes of final registration under the Education Act 1944 in each of the last 10 years; how many inspectors visited for the purposes of the inspection on each occasion; and for how many days each inspection lasted.
In the 10 years to the end of 1979 nearly 200 independent schools in England were given final registration. All were inspected for this purpose by Her Majesty's inspectors. Such inspection normally involves two or three routine visits. Where necessary these are followed by a full inspection involving, according to the size and age range of the school, two or more inspectors for two or more days and resulting in the production of a detailed report.The details of the inspection of each school could not be given except at disproportionate cost. The following schools were finally registered during the period and remained on the register in January 1980:
