To satisfy the requirements of the new four-yearly OFSTED inspection procedures, targets for the academic, personal and social development of a school's pupils, as well as development planning, monitoring and evaluation will all need to be sharply focused. The authors of this book - both Registered inspectors - believe that the best way to meet the new requirements is by a process of ongoing school review. Where inspection ascertains school effectiveness, review uses regular internal monitoring and evaluation to generate improvement. This book provides schools with a practical guide to school inspection within the context of continuous school review. It details how to prepare for inspection, what the inspectors will be looking for, and how to make inspection a positive and constructive experience. Topics covered in detail include inspection: framework, evidence, methodology, report; how to review your own school; standards of achievement and value added; enhancing reading and learning; curriculum development and review; assessing pupils' personal development and behaviour; and management, administration and efficiency. Checklists, strategies and methodologies are outlined for each aspect, and tables are provided to show precisely what the school should do and how the inspectors will judge it. This timely, authoritative and practical book will be of immense value to headteachers and senior managers in schools, as well as all staff involved in the inspection process.
