Peer Inspector Recruitment – Primary Schools

Become a Peer Inspector in Primary Schools

Would you like to develop your professional skills and contribute to improvement in your sector?

We’re looking for candidates who are currently  senior leaders in primary schools, or who support primary schools in a local authority or regional consortium advisory capacity.

Peer Inspectors are a key part of our inspection teams. On successful completion of the Peer Inspector training and once deployed, you will:

• be a full member of the inspection team;
• use your knowledge, skills and experience to contribute to the team’s overall appraisal of the school’s work;
• help the team form its evaluations of teaching, learning, well-being and leadership;
• hold discussions with pupils and staff, undertake teaching and learning observations and scrutinise pupils’ work;
• gather evidence and create evaluative bullet points that support the formulation of the final report.

Being a peer inspector is an excellent professional learning opportunity that allows you to learn from other providers and contribute to raising standards in teaching and learning across Wales.

We offer training and, if completed successfully, we will add you to our register of Peer Inspectors.
