It takes hard work, strong leadership, clear vision and relentless commitment to improvement to achieve an ‘excellent’ judgement in an inspection. In 2016-2017, Estyn judged 34 non-maintained settings, schools and colleges as 'Excellent' . These providers achieved an overall inspection judgement of ‘excellent’ for either their current performance or their prospects for improvement. Providers included in the pilot inspections for our new inspection framework achieved a judgement of ‘excellent’ for three or more inspection areas.
