Q Has there been a change to the time that inspectors arrive on site on day one of inspection?
A

Inspection activity will commence at 12:00 (please refer to paragraph 43 on page 12 in the inspection handbook).

However, some reporting inspectors may let the headteacher know that they or their team will arrive on site between 11:00 and 11:30 due to travel constraints or poor weather conditions.

Inspectors will ask to be directed to the inspection base but will not undertake any inspection activities until 12:00 on the first day of inspection.
