Follow-up guidance for schools and inspectors (from September 2017)

This document provides guidance on follow-up for all core inspections which take place from September 2019.

The guidance identifies the steps that inspection teams will take to help them to identify the most appropriate level of follow-up activity. It will be useful for schools to understand these procedures and the factors that inspection teams will consider when deciding on the most appropriate level of follow-up.

However, this guidance is flexible as it needs to be responsive to the wide variety of situations that occur in schools as they improve after core inspections. Estyn reserves the right to adapt the guidance to meet the needs of specific schools.
