What can learners expect during inspection?


Our inspection teams spend time out and about talking to both staff and learners in classrooms, dinner halls, playgrounds and around the site to find out what learners think and feel about their education setting and their learning experience.

Before the inspectors arrive, there is an opportunity for learners to give feedback through an online questionnaire and similarly, parents and carers are invited to share their views through a questionnaire and a face to face parents meeting with inspectors. 

Take a look at our videos below to find out more about what learners, parents and carers can expect from an inspection.
