Inspection approaches to support the Curriculum Improvement Cycle: Phase one - English and Literacy

The first phase of this project is to evaluate English language and literacy as a curriculum area. To achieve the aims of the first phase, the project will:

  • develop a model of inspection for English language and literacy;
  • undertake inspection visits to establishment(s) in each local authority;
  • produce individual reports for establishments; and 
  • publish a national summary report on English and literacy.

Throughout all aspects of the first phase of this work, HM Inspectors will ensure the views of learners and other stakeholders are represented.
