It's been revealed more than 20 schools in #Kent haven't been inspected by Ofsted in 10 years or more.

By law, schools which are rated as 'Outstanding' are exempt from routine checks.

There's 25 schools in #Kent and #Medway which have gone without a review - some were last inspected in 2006. 

A spokesperson for Ofsted says they would like the law to change and have asked the Department for Education to look at the policy again.
