We use Peer Inspectors on inspections in nearly all sectors we inspect. Peer Inspectors work as senior leaders/managers in schools/providers and we allocate PIs to up to three inspection teams each year. They are full members of the inspection team, and they undertake a wide range of inspection activities, including observing sessions, scrutinising samples of pupils’ work, interviewing staff and drafting sections of the inspection report.
To be a Peer Inspector, you must:
- be paid on the senior leadership pay spine
- be in a permanent position
- have at least two years’ leadership experience
- have at least five years' teaching experience
When we next run a recruitment campaign for Peer Inspectors, we will advertise this on our website.
