(Translated) Will the Minister make a statement on the school inspectorate in Wales?

Estyn is an independent body. Matters relating to the common inspection framework or other inspection arrangements should be addressed directly to the inspectorate for consideration.

(Translated) What plans does the Minister have to review the support available to school governors?

Local authorities, within their consortia, are responsible for providing support to school governors to enable them to undertake their role effectively, and should continually review this to ensure it meets governors’ needs. We fund a range of additional support centrally including an independent advice line, run by Governors Wales.
