School Inspections in Scotland Conference

Sept. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Capita’s 2nd School Inspections in Scotland Conference examines the new inspection framework and what ‘excellent’ looks like. This updated structure dictates how all schools are measured and evaluated whilst placing an emphasis on the Curriculum for Excellence implementation and evidencing improvement. A year on from the introduction of the arrangements, this conference is perfectly timed to gain insight into the processes and practical implications of meeting the new requirements.

With the focus firmly placed on schools possessing the capacity to self-evaluate and drive their own improvement, demonstrating this ability is central to inspection success and raising the attainment of pupils. Current topics addressed at this critical event include:

- Establishing high quality leadership and management to deliver improvement
- Creating a flexible curriculum that will have the optimum impact on learners’ needs
- Benefiting from partnership working between local authorities, parents and stakeholders
- Using self-evaluation as a dynamic, robust and resourceful tool to improve standards and achievement
- Evidencing the progression of pupil performance and narrowing the attainment gap

Attend to learn key lessons from schools already inspected under the new framework and how they successfully met the criteria of the quality indicators. Take away detailed guidance and advice on how to showcase your school’s strengths and improvements to ensure success for your next inspection.
