Principles underpinning inspection • Improvement and capacity building • Building on self-evaluation • Focusing on outcomes and impact • Proportionality and responsiveness
Key factors • Starting with self-evaluation • Areas for focused attention • Broad view of learners’ experiences • Progress within a broad general education • Meeting the learning needs of ALL learners
SIFR – Main changes 1 New approach to determining the annual programme Revised notification period Use of pre-inspection self-evaluation summary form Self-evaluation meeting School “nominee” Lay Member – two half days Monday lunchtime start for all teams
SIFR – Main changes 2 Three “big questions” and simplified RIF Team decides when inspection ends Expressions of confidence / answering questions Four follow through options QIs in RIF and available online, not in letter report On-line report (+ some hard copies) RIF shared with HT, EA and PC chair
Improvement through inspection Inspection On-going self-evaluation Follow-through No further engagement Innovative practice visit Support/ improvement visit Further inspection EA engagement
Future developments CLD inspections Two tracks for FT from August 2011 On-line questionnaires
SIFR – review of key messages Building on existing strengths Increased responsiveness More proportionality (sample; focus areas; FT) Greater improvement focus (inspection + 3-18 reports) Increased user-focus Focus on impact Clearer reassurance for parents
