The Quality of Education

“Inspectors will consider the extent to which the school’s curriculum sets out the knowledge and skills that pupils will gain at each stage (we call this ‘intent’).  

They will also consider the way that the curriculum developed or adopted by the school is taught and assessed in order to support pupils to build their knowledge and to apply that knowledge as skills (we call this  ‘implementation’).

Finally inspectors will consider the outcomes that pupils achieve as a result of the education they have received (we call this the ‘impact’).”
