Actions
Once an institution has been placed in special measures, they are presented with an action plan by the inspectors detailing the key areas they need to develop in order to leave the category. Monitoring of this action plan then passes to HMI (Her Majesty’s Inspectors) who visit the school typically once a term for 1-2 days to evaluate progress. Once HMI are satisfied that the action plan has been completed and all points satisfactorily addressed, then they will refer the school back to Ofsted and ask them to schedule a second Section 5 Inspection. If Ofsted agree with HMI’s judgement, the school is then removed from the special measures category.
Support for schools that enter special measures comes in a variety of forms, and varies from Local Authority to Local Authority. Typically though schools will benefit from significant extra resources – both in terms of extra funds and consultancy from the Local Authority and external providers.

Famous quotes containing the word actions:
“I also believe that few people remain completely untouched by the thought that instead of the life they lead there might also be another, where all actions proceed from a very personal state of excitement. Where actions have meanings, not just causes. And where a person, to use a trivial word, is happy, and not just nervously tormenting himself.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Our pride and self-importance are European, while our development and actions are Asiatic.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“When a man’s life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other men’s actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
