ISI Documentation
The ISI documentation package contains the ISI inspection Handbook and the guidance papers and forms that schools and inspectors will find useful at the various stages of the inspection process. In particular, this page of the website allows schools to download the pre-inspection (PI) package of forms and guidance papers which all ISC schools will make use of during their preparation for inspection. The handbook and guidance papers available for download are in portable document format (pdf), while forms are provided as Word document files.
