Preparing for a School Estyn Inspection

The Learning Partnership is running a course, The Brown Envelope, which is aimed at schools who will have an Estyn inspection in the next 24 months. This course will be delivered through the medium of English on Thursday 5th February and Welsh on Friday 6th February.

The course focuses on the following objectives

• Further your understanding of the Common Inspection Framework
• Consider meaningful evidence which will support your self-evaluation judgments
• Give consideration to the process of inspection
• Develop strategies for responding to probing questions
• Discuss your ‘hopes and fears’ regarding inspection

The course is aimed at Headteachers, Deputy Headteachers, Foundation Phase Coordinators and teachers.

The course will also look at a Case Study of an Early Years Setting that has been teaching The Foundation Phase philosophy and methodolgy. The Case Study will look at how the setting achieved Grade 1 in all Key Questions and in all Areas of Learning from the current inspection framework.

If you have not booked a place on either the English or Welsh versions of the course please either book online or telephone Anna on 0845 1800 236 (local rates apply)
