Inspection Reports
The purpose of inspection is to identify good features and shortcomings so that education and training providers can improve the quality of education they offer and raise the standards achieved by their learners.
Estyn’s inspection reports are designed to give parents and learners information about the performance of their school, college, or training provider.

You can search for Inspection reports by clicking on our interactive map of Wales and searching by keywords.
All of our reports are published in accordance with Estyn's Welsh Language Scheme.
Our policy means that:
- Estyn’s thematic reports and policy and procedure documents are published bilingually.
- Each individual education and training provider, or their local authority tell us if they want the report to be published bilingually. Where a bilingual report is not requested, reports on individual education and training providers will appear in English only.
Accessing our publications
Estyn does not produce hard-copies of inspection reports, but electronic copies of all inspection reports from the last 6 years will be available to download on our website.
If an electronic copy of the report you require on this site is not available, as it is more than 6 years old, you need to contact the education and training provider for a paper copy. They cannot refuse your request, but they are entitled to make a small charge for photocopying.
You need Adobe Acrobat to view our publications. If you do not have this free software click the icon below to download it from the Adobe web site.
For the visually impaired free Adobe software can be downloaded from the Adobe web site to convert PDF files to HTML or ASCII text which can be used by screen reading programs..
