HC Deb 19 June 1984 vol 62 cc108-9W
29. Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many Bradford schools are due to be visited by Her Majesty's inspectors in the next year.

Mr. Dunn

Her Majesty's Inspectorate does not have detailed plans identifying institutions for inspection up to 12 months in advance. Each year, over the country as a whole, about 250 schools are formally inspected and HMI pays shorter visits to about a fifth of all maintained primary schools and some three quarters of all maintained secondary schools.
