Requirements for 2020
All schools in NSW are part of NESA’s program to inspect schools selected randomly.
The inspection of schools selected randomly:
- considers school compliance with a subset of the registration requirements;
- occurs with a minimum four days’ notice;
- assesses whether the school continues to comply with the registration requirements.
The subset of requirements to be inspected in 2020 will relate to either:
- Strand A: NESA Annual Priorities
- Safe and supportive environment: child protection
- Curriculum, OR
- Strand B: Quality of student learning
- Curriculum related to the standard of teaching.
The subset of requirements changes annually. 13 schools will be inspected in relation to Strand A, and another 13 will be inspected in relation to Strand B.
Inspections of schools selected randomly will commence in the second half of Term 1 and be completed by the end of Term 3 2020.
See the NESA website for more information regarding:
- the notice period for selected schools
- an explanation of the requirements for Strand A and Strand B in 2020
