Monitoring will include reference to attendance and behaviour
Each year should provide a full and frank appraisal of each pupil

"Our approaches to inspection and review have increasingly placed
more - HMIe
Scotland emphasis
on issues such as the extent to which an establishment or service has
developed the
ability to self-evaluate and drive its own improvement. In inspections,

improvement. We
carry out inspections taking account of the context and nature of the
school, its
children and young people and their needs. "
