Education Act 2005
The Education Act 2005 (c 18) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was enacted in order to simplify the process of school improvement, strengthening the accountability framework for schools, in particular by amending the approach used by Ofsted when inspecting schools in England. This Act repealed the provisions of the School Inspections Act 1996.
The Act also brought about changes to the role of the Teacher Training Agency, broadened the need for Local Education Authorities to invite proposals for new schools, and introduced 3-year budgets for maintained schools.
The Education Act is divided into five parts, which are summarised below:
