Part of the debate – in the Senedd on 7 March 2017.
Motion NDM6246 as amended;
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes the annual report for 2015-16 of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales.
2. Notes that leadership is the most significant factor affecting school improvement and calls upon the Welsh Government to bring forward more detailed information on the establishment of the National Academy of Educational Leadership, including its finances, targets, and how leaders will be able to access its support.
3. Regrets the relative poor performance of the pupil referral units inspected in 2015-16, of which none were identified with excellent practice and all four were placed in a statutory category of follow up, and calls on the Welsh Government to address weaknesses in provision, leadership and management as a matter of urgency.
