asked Her Majesty's Government:

Who is responsible for inspecting William Morris Academy in Hammersmith and Fulham local education authority; and whether it is inspected as a school, a sixth form college or a further education college. [HL3462]

Baroness Blackstone

The Academy is not currently subject to inspection by Ofsted, as it is not a school for the purposes of the School Inspections Act 1996, or by the Further Education and Funding Council, as it is not a FEFC-funded institution. The White PaperLearning to Succeed anticipated that, in future, Ofsted will be responsible for the inspection of all publicly funded 16–19 provision, except work based training for that age group.
