The update is for school inspectors, though school leaders and others may also find it useful.

The November edition, the first since the roll-out of the education inspection framework (EIF), focuses on the minor changes to section 5 and section 8 handbooks following the first two months under EIF. A summary of the changes is included and the edition also includes information on the release of key stage 4 checking data.

In the September addition, we focus on the transition arrangements for section 5 inspections under the EIF, as well as applying the transition to section 8 inspections of good schools.
