6. Short inspections for good providers Frequent, shorter inspections for good schools, academies and FES providers – approximately every three years.  More proportionate: the right sort of inspections at the right time.  Identify decline early or give schools/providers the opportunity to demonstrate improvement sooner.  Designed to ask if the quality of provision is being sustained, and what is the capacity of leaders to drive improvement?  Help support rising standards with greater professional dialogue.  More regular reporting to parents/carers, learners and employers.

Leaders provide the role models for the rest of the institution’ (HMCI Annual Report 2012)

10. Add presentation title to master slide | 10 2015 ‘HMI will focus on leadership above all else when they visit good schools during the new short inspections. Their principal task will be to determine whether the leadership team, including governors, has the capacity not only to maintain existing standards but to improve them further’ ‘HMI will report their findings in a concise letter… Which will confirm that the provider remains good, explain what inspectors saw, and set out specific areas for future improvement. Much of the letter will be given over to how leadership across the school or institution is maintaining standards and building capacity for further improvements’ (HMCI Speech – FOEI launch 2015)
