New inspection arrangements for maintained schools will be introduced in September 2009. Following the successful trial of new methodology in a small number of schools in the summer term 2008 a larger-scale pilot programme took place in the autumn term 2008.
This paper provides an evaluation of the main findings, focusing on the main differences between the pilot and current section 5 practice.
