A focus on improvement: proposals for maintained school inspections from Sept 2009

Consultation published by The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) View original »

In our strategic plan we set out our intentions to ensure that inspection has more impact on outcomes for children and learners of all ages and to make inspection more coherent, rigorous and proportionate.

We have reviewed our arrangements for the inspection of schools to ensure they are coherent and well matched to the needs of the user and the quality of the service, developing our ability to target inspection where it will make the most difference. Our proposals are set out in the consultation document. We have also published a leaflet for parents and carers.

The changes we are proposing should ensure that inspection does more to drive improvement where it is most needed; takes greater account of the needs of those being inspected; targets resources where they will have the greatest impact on outcomes for learners; and uses resources as efficiently as possible.

Timeframe

This consultation started around the 30th May 2008 and ends on 11th August 2008.
