Commentary Part 1: School Inspections and Other Inspections by School Inspectors Chapter 4 – Procedure for Inspections under Chapter 3 Section 42: Statement to be prepared by proprietor of school
82.This section re-enacts with modifications section 21 of SIA 1996 in its application to Wales. It sets out the requirement on the proprietor to prepare a written statement of action setting out the steps he proposes to take in light of a report of any inspection under section 28, or any other inspection by HMI stating that a school requires special measures. New provision is made requiring a statement of action to be prepared after other HMI inspections where the report states that a school requires significant improvement. Regulations made by the Assembly will set out the periods for preparing these written statements and the periods for sending them to specified persons, including the Assembly.
