Pre Inspection

educations1st recognises that inspections can be a daunting prospect for even the most experienced Heads. Our team of experienced consultants can advise on the structure and format of the inspection and offer staff valuable reassurance in advance of the inspectors' visit. By addressing any areas of weakness schools can reduce the risk of unexpected criticisms in the published report. We can also help schools to review the findings and assist with the implementation of any recommendations.

We work with the Head, SMT and staff to set a schedule of action prior to inspection and assign members of staff to oversee specific areas. A constructive team approach has wide-ranging benefits:

Hand on expert support
Pre-inspection report giving strengths and weaknesses of the organisation covering school and boarding accommodation
Pre-inspection support for the staff and pupils to build confidence and reduce anxiety
Self evaluation support
Curriculum analysis
Prepare School Development Plan (SDP) or Improvement Plan (SIP)
Team building

Presentation for inspection high lighting keys areas of improvement and development
Advise on safety and security of the staff, pupils and the building(s)
