The framework for Inspections of Education Action Zones states that Evidence will be sought about the benefits brought about by elements of the zone programme in schools and other settings, including any which:
- Improve teaching and learning, especially to raise standards in literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology
- Extend school provision, including provision for study support
- Enhance support for pupils and young people, including at points of transition and in conjunction with relevant agencies
- Improve parental involvement in schools and provision for family learning
Each inspection of a zone will lead to a short report that will provide a summary of the main judgements on:
- The extent to which zone management is providing an effective, efficient and productive basis for schools to work with business and other partners to achieve the objectives agreed for the zone
- The extent to which the zone is contributing to raising standards and promoting social inclusion, including through the use of innovative approaches and the links made with other local programmes
Evidence of partnership and consultation arrangements will also be inspected, with reference to:
- Zone schools and other education providers
- The Local Education Authority
- Business
- Other partners or agencies
- The wider community
The Inspections are conducted by Her Majesty´s Inspectors of Schools (HMI) under the School Inspections Act 1996.
