Estyn essentials: A Teachers’ toolkit for schools and PRUs

Welcome to Estyn Essentials – your direct link to the latest insights, guidance, and practical resources from Wales’s education inspectorate. We know that middle leaders, teachers, lecturers and support staff play a vital role in shaping the learning experiences of children and young people every day. That’s why we’re bringing you information first-hand.

We want to raise awareness about the inspection process, clarify what inspection really looks like in practice, and highlight how Estyn’s findings and resources can strengthen classroom teaching and subject-specific approaches across all phases. We’re here to support you in your work by sharing clear, accessible updates and tools, along with honest reflections from providers – ensuring our collective efforts continue to drive meaningful improvement for learners across Wales.
