1. Inspection reports will reflect inspection findings regarding the complex and wide-ranging nature of school provision and the breadth of impact for pupils. Each section of the report (which corresponds to the sections of the framework) will report clearly and with supporting evidence the extent to which the Standards are being met.
  2. The summary section of the inspection report will give a balanced evaluative overview of provision at the school. It will describe the main areas of strength and any relative weaknesses relating to all sections of the framework.
  3. In the summary section, inspectors will:
    • recommend next steps where standards are met, and/or
    • give an overview of areas for action where standards are not met.
  4. In addition, inspectors may:
    • highlight any areas of provision that have been identified on inspection as significant strengths;
    • where standards are unmet, state whether there are serious and/or multiple failings in the school's provision.
  5. Each section of the report relating to the four sections of the framework will describe more fully, the strengths, relative weaknesses, any significant strengths and where standards are not met whether there are serious and/or multiple failings in the school’s provision.
