Recommendation 8

8 Paragraph: 33

Current short inspection notice period causes operational difficulties and increased stress for schools.

Conclusion
We have heard a range of views as to the appropriate notice period for inspections and accept that this is an issue that is difficult to fully resolve. While we do not believe that there should be a return to the much longer notice periods of the past, the current notice period appears to be causing operational difficulties in many schools, particularly smaller schools, and creating additional stress and anxiety for school leaders.
