British schools overseas are a diverse collection of institutions which in varying degrees provide instruction in English, have teachers who are native English speakers and which provide their pupils with a broad and balanced curriculum which equips them with the skills and qualifications to enable them to enter or re enter the British education system with ease.
The Government has put in place a voluntary inspection scheme and the intention of the scheme is to inform parents of pupils in British schools overseas how the standards in these schools measure up against the standards that apply to independent schools in Britain. Inspectorates approved by the Department and monitored by Ofsted will be authorised to inspect British schools overseas and produce inspection reports, which will be made available to parents and prospective parents of British schools overseas.
