The education and training inspectorate for Wales is seeking the public’s views about support in education due to the COVID-19 disruption. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Estyn, who’s vision is ‘to improve the quality of education, training and outcomes for all learners in Wales’, are holding a survey for school/Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) leaders, teachers, support staff, governors, parents/carers, primary and secondary school pupils. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It will focus on both the support for vulnerable learners and the strategic planning for the implementation of teaching and learning guidance from September. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A spokesperson for Estyn said: “We’ve been asked by the Minister for Education to review how well schools, PRUs and their communities are being supported. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“This work will help share effective practice across Wales and identify what might be done differently if there is further disruption. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We are looking for the views of school staff, governors, parents/carers and learners.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Estyn will also meet online with local authorities and regional consortia staff as well as speaking with headteachers and other staff in schools within each local authority. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The spokesperson added: “We will look at key documents including guidance, consultation feedback and reports to elected members. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We will not be evaluating the work of individual schools or pupil referral units.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete and responses will be kept anonymous. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
