How Good is our School, parts One & Two – HMIe 2007
In their document “How Good is Our School – the Journey to Excellence” (HMIe 2007), Her Majesty’s Inspectors identify 10 ‘Dimensions of Excellence’ and illustrate how these can be achieved by offering level 4 (Good) and level 6 (Excellent) descriptions of excellence.

(Quotations are drawn from the level 6 descriptions.)
