Impact of Section 5 inspections: maintained schools in England
21 Jul 2006
Ref: 20060721
Ofsted has commissioned the National Foundation for Educational Research to evaluate the new arrangements for school inspection introduced under section 5 of the Education Act 2005. In this pilot study the NFER reports on schools' responses to the changed system. The vast majority of respondents were satisfied with the new inspection, and many found it less stressful than the previous system. Self-assessment, now incorporated into the process, was seen by most as an integral part of school improvement.
A follow-up survey was published in April 2009.
