No-notice inspections should go both ways

/magazine/archive/no-notice-inspections-should-go-both-ways

Will no-notice inspections also apply to inspectors? (“The plot thickens as Ofsted plans ‘dawn raids’ for allâ€, 13 January.) Will they be given no chance to look at performance data before they visit and therefore see schools “as they really areâ€, reporting what they see without having any preconceptions? That, at least, would be an advance on current inspection practice.
