<p>It is not possible to say how many independent schools are not meeting the standards
at any one time. Meeting the standards is a condition of continued registration as
an independent school, but the principal means of ascertaining compliance is through
the inspection system.</p><p>Independent schools are normally inspected every 3 years
and more often if they have been found not to be meeting the standards, until they
improve. Therefore, at any one time, a particular school may be awaiting inspection
and may or may not be meeting the standards or be under regulatory action and in the
process of achieving compliance once again.</p><p>A statement on the regulation of
independent schools is published at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulating-independent-schools"
