Frontline interview — inspection in independent schools

In this episode we explore the topic of using external visitors/contributors in the classroom and consider some of the potential benefits and challenges that these visits can bring, alongside several strategies and examples for managing them effectively. We also discuss the new statutory guidelines for relationships (RSE) education and health education, and the opportunity this brings — to raise the status of the subject and ensure high quality training.
