School inspections are changing: shape what’s next: What happens next?

After the consultation closes, all online survey responses and any alternative submissions will be analysed along with a range of other available information and evidence.

A report summarising the findings of this consultation will be published.

These findings will inform our next steps. These will be shaped by what we have heard through this consultation, ongoing engagement and the priorities of His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education in Scotland.

Separate impact assessments will be carried out as appropriate and published in due course.
