	Civitas: F Ofsted -- the Grade its Reports Merit
		Its powers were extended to them on the alleged grounds that such powers over private schools as the state had under the 1944 Education Act were insufficient to compel those offering inadequate provision to improve the quality of their provision on pain of closure otherwise.
		Meanwhile, competition between such schools was deemed unable to exert market pressure for improvement, allegedly on the grounds that parents could acquire insufficient information about what went on in private schools to enable them to make informed decisions about which to send their children to.
		If the private schools Ofsted judged unsatisfactory were genuinely so, then arguably it would be providing a genuine public service, despite it straining belief to suppose parents able and willing to pay large sums for private schooling of their children to be otherwise unable to know which schools are worth sending their children to.
