“…………The article, “Revising school inspection”, provides some details about how this might be achieved, by concentrating on four areas of school life: teaching and learning; leadership and management; pupils’ behaviour and safety; and their achievement.”
It’s those 4 areas that Michael Gove referred to in his letter to Christine Gilbert the other week. Things will change, in terms of focus, but inspection will stay – at least for schools that are not outstanding, which is 94% of secondary schools and 92% of primary schools, at the moment. Stay tuned for more news!
