Description
What this is
The complete fifty-page analysis of the 2025-26 ISI inspection corpus. Where the executive summary gives you the headline findings, the full report gives you the underlying analysis, the verbatim source material, and the practical tools to act on it.
Every recommended next step (737), every school-specific action point (177), and every literal award of “significant strength” (80), captured verbatim and thematically tagged. Every figure traces back to a row in the workbook.
What’s inside
- Five thematic chapters. Recommended next steps, significant strengths, action points, four emerging themes (mental health, technology, EDI and pupil voice, AI), and what the language tells us.
- Four pedagogical patterns ISI is currently flagging, with verbatim inspector quotations: stretching the most able cohort, the quality of teacher feedback, careers education starting earlier, and assessment that informs planning.
- Five compliance themes behind almost every “not all met” outcome, with the underlying patterns explained and the inspector phrasing reproduced.
- A pre-inspection audit checklist. Compliance, pedagogical, and strategic. Each pattern in the corpus distilled into a single confirmable item.
- Discussion prompts for SLT and for governance. Specific questions designed to be put on an agenda.
- The full taxonomy with definitions. 29 tags across 8 clusters.
Who this is for
Heads, deputies, and proprietors preparing for inspection in 2026 or 2027. Trustees and governing bodies sense-checking compliance oversight. SLT teams refining pedagogical priorities. School development professionals building inspection-preparation programmes.

How this differs from the (free) briefing
