The shape of school inspection from 2012
30 Sep 2011
With a sharper focus on the judgements that matter most; even more time spent in the classroom, and a continued drive on raising standards, especially in reading, Ofsted has today published details of how the inspection of maintained schools will change from January 2012.
The new arrangements, which reflect provisions in the Education Bill, follow an extensive consultation and detailed piloting of the proposals in schools. Building on the strengths of the current system they are designed to ensure that inspection will have an even stronger impact on driving improvements in education and raising achievement for all pupils.
See the Inspecting maintained schools page for schools for more information.
