Special Schools Quality Assurance – Lesson Visit

A focused, editable form for shorter visits to lessons in special schools, helping leaders capture useful evidence and identify points for discussion.

Prompts cover learning purpose, communication, access, adult support and pupil responses. Record what you notice, capture a specific example of practice, and note anything that needs a follow-up conversation or a closer look.

Use it for regular visits, peer support or monitoring a particular school priority. The form keeps the focus manageable while recognising pupils’ individual ways of communicating, participating and learning.
