Overview

During the 1990s school inspection has become a controversial political issue. This history of HMI since the Second World War shows how its independence derives from the work of the nineteenth century inspectors and examines the relationship between HMI and schools, local education authorities and the government. The later chapters study the effect of the 1988 and 1992 Education Acts, and conclude with an analysis of proposals for the future of school inspection.
