Pikuach Director Jeffrey Leader has commented on the postponement of visits by the religious education inspection service.
He said “The Department for Education have announced that Ofsted have suspended routine inspections for schools during this period of uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, we postponed all Pikuach inspections for this term and the early summer. The relevant schools were informed directly. We will continue to monitor the developing situation and follow government advice.”
