Are Island schools subject to Ofsted inspections?

No. Instead schools are active participants in a system called School Self Review and Evaluation, in which schools mark themselves, 'significant strength', 'good', 'satisfactory' or 'requires action' in 10 areas and these are quality benchmarked by an independent validator who works with a senior officer to quality assure the school's judgments. The system is seen as a more productive and inclusive way of developing school excellence.
