Ofsted Inspection Framework Behaviour and Safety of pupils at the school: “Ofsted will take account of the views expressed by pupils, including different groups of pupils, of their experiences of others’ behaviour and attitudes towards them, and their understanding of the importance of such attributes in school and adult life.”
