Ofsted is the official body that inspects schools in England. Inspectors visit, sit in lessons, look at results and at whether children are safe, then publish a report and a grade.

Ofsted isOfsted是 the official body that inspects schools in England負責檢核英格蘭學校的官方機構 Inspectors visit督察員會到校參訪 sit in lessons坐在課堂裡旁聽 look at results and at whether children are safe看成績，也看孩子安不安全 then publish a report and a grade然後發布一份報告和一個評等

For years those grades ran Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate — and a poor grade could break a headteacher's career. English teachers talk about “Ofsted week” the way other people talk about an exam.

For years those grades ran Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate有好幾年評等分成Outstanding（優異）、Good（良好）、Requires Improvement（待改進）、Inadequate（不合格） and a poor grade could break a headteacher's career評等太差可能會毀掉校長的職涯 English teachers talk about “Ofsted week”英格蘭老師會講「Ofsted week」（督察週） the way other people talk about an exam就像別人在講一場考試那樣

The letters first stood for Office for Standards in Education. The official name later grew to cover children's services and skills as well, but everybody still says Ofsted.

The letters first stood for這幾個字母原本代表 Office for Standards in EducationOffice for Standards in Education（教育標準局） The official name later grew to cover children's services and skills as well後來官方名稱擴大到也涵蓋兒童服務和技能 but everybody still says Ofsted但大家還是都叫它Ofsted

It is a government inspectorate, not a teachers' union and not the exam board. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have their own inspectors, so Ofsted is really an England name that foreign news treats as “the British school police.” The messy truth: it also looks at nurseries and some other services, but the word in ordinary talk still means “the people who come to judge a school.”
