School inspections are changing
Section 4: Notification of inspection
Currently, a school is given two-and-a-half weeks’ notice of an inspection. This enables the inspection team to plan the inspection activities alongside the headteacher and to give staff time to complete pre-inspection paperwork. It also provides time for parents, pupils, staff and partner organisations to complete pre-inspection questionnaires and for the inspectors to collate and analyse responses.
We would like your views on whether the current notification period is appropriate.
