Inquiry to investigate school improvement

Trade unions
An inquiry by school leaders into how education professionals can take a greater role in improving our education system has been unveiled.

The investigation will consider the role of central government and inspection and accountability, as well as school governance, Teaching Schools and CPD.

The inquiry is entitled “What does a self-improving school-led system look like? A blueprint for the future” and is to be led by the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL).

It will specifically consider the progress the government has made towards “system leadership” – which ASCL defines as heads and school leaders who work across several schools to bring about improvement. 

It would like to see this practice “accelerated and widened to all schools”.

The work will culminate in a “blueprint” being published ahead of next May’s General Election, and the investigation will include a public consultation.
