What is the difference between an independent school and a private school?

Nothing — "independent school" and "private school" mean the same thing in the UK: a fee-paying school that operates outside local-authority control. Adding to the confusion, some of the oldest independent schools are traditionally known as "public schools".

Who inspects private schools in Devon?

Independent schools belonging to the Independent Schools Council are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) rather than Ofsted, while non-association independent schools are inspected by Ofsted. Where a school has a published Ofsted rating, we show it on its profile.
