新澳门六合彩官网开奖 announces 鈥減hased return鈥 to inspections
By Rachel Lawler
新澳门六合彩官网开奖 has new plans for a 鈥減hased return鈥 to inspections in 2021 following the coronavirus pandemic.
Starting in the spring term, 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 will begin a programme of 鈥渁ssurance inspections鈥 which will confirm whether or not providers are meeting the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
新澳门六合彩官网开奖 will be prioritised for these based on the length of time since their last inspection. More details about these "assurance inspections" is expected in the coming weeks.
新澳门六合彩官网开奖 will not begin routine graded inspections again until the summer term of 2021.
Summer term 2021
Amanda Spielman, chief inspector at 新澳门六合彩官网开奖, said: 鈥淭he usual level of scrutiny within the education and care system has been absent since last March, so it鈥檚 important that it returns next year as we all hope for a greater level of normality. But we understand the pressure that everyone in education and social care is working under and we want to return to our usual work in a measured, sensitive and practical way.
"We will not re-introduce graded inspections to schools and colleges before April. During the spring term, we will use supportive monitoring inspections to help those that most need it, focused on how well pupils and students are learning. Routine inspections in early years and social care are also planned for the summer term, but regulatory work will continue in the interim.
"Our role is to offer the greatest assurance we can to parents and the public about the quality of education and care arrangements for children and learners. These plans will help us support the providers who are facing the greatest challenges during these difficult times. They will ensure that inspection is fair, safe and valuable, while remaining true to our core purpose and principles.鈥
Pilot inspections
新澳门六合彩官网开奖 says that it will be working with sector representatives ahead of the return to routine inspections. It also plans to run a series of pilot visits 鈥渨here necessary鈥.
