Do providers always have to have an Ofsted satisfactory rating? What if they have not been rated yet, or are rated unsatisfactory after they have received the Graduate Leader Fund?
A. Providers that have not received an Ofsted rating are eligible to apply for the Fund at the discretion of their local authority. Where there are concerns about providers who have yet to be rated, we suggest that local authorities await the Ofsted assessment result before considering applications for the incentives. If a provider receives an unsatisfactory rating after they have received funding the local authority will normally cease payments.
