This text traces the development of different forms of school inspection. It draws on a range of sources such as research and inspection evidence, writing by key figures, teachers' own experiences, newspaper headlines and other comments. The book includes summary questions and other signposts for the reader and pays attention to other types of school self-evaluation. James Learmouth explores comprehensively the impact of inspection on schools in difficulties, and outlines the ways in which research and other evidence suggests that schools improve.

Reviews for Inspection: What's In It for Schools?

'So the answer to the question what's in it for schools? is supported self-evaluation; a process at once more rigorous and more constructive than Ofsted involving all the stakeholders, with teachers as partners rather than targets and school inspectors affording assistance . Teachers attracted by this model should start reading here.' - Particia Rowan, Times Educational Supplement 'This compact, economically edited book contains an extended list of references, an appendix containing summaries of two substantial reviews of OfSTED's work and the text is enlivened by reproductions of relevant cartoons from the past.' - ACE Bulletin
