Taking into account recent developments in education, we are introducing a menu of approaches to inspection.
HM Inspectors of Education have published an advice note outlining how they will reflect the COVID-19 context in early learning and childcare (ELC) and school inspections from August 2022.
Education Scotland aims to promote improvement in early learning and childcare settings and successful innovation that enhances childrens' experiences.
Our inspectors focus on the quality of children's learning and achievement. We have a particular interest in how the school is developing children's skills and understanding in literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing.
