School inspection: an evaluation
21 Jul 2006
Ref: 2373
This report presents an internal evaluation of the first two terms of the new arrangements for the inspection of maintained schools, which were implemented in September 2005. Ofsted sought the opinions of headteachers, teachers, parents, pupils, governors and local authorities. Respondents were generally positive about the new system. Nine out of 10 headteachers were content with their inspection reports and the great majority agreed that inspectors had identified the right issues for action and provided a clear agenda for improvement.
The report will be of particular interest to schools, local authorities, the Department for Education and Skills and parents.
