Originally published in 1996, the title of this book poses the
question whether the motto of the Office for Standards in Education
was an apt statement of its effects in practice. Beginning with the
state of knowledge about OFSTED's early impact, the Editors review
the range of complementary approaches to school improvement - most
of them driven by the schools themselves - that were in operation,
alongside the OFSTED system of inspection at the time. The major
part of the book is taken up with the main 'quality initiatives'
that were at work in primary and secondary schools - including
Investors in People, Deming, TQM, partnerships, professional
competence, strategic planning and effective governorship. Each
chapter examines critically - sometimes with the aid of case
studies of good practice - the benefits such approaches might bring
to schools in their attempts to raise standards. The book is a
companion to OFSTED Inspections: The Early Experience by the same
Editors, published and reissued simultaneously.
