School Boards can play a key role in this process by playing a full part in partnership working and supporting the school in its efforts to raise standards. Schools have been invited 7 to produce standards and quality reports about key areas of their work and share them with parents. It will be natural for such reports to contain detailed information about targets which have been set and the school's successes in reaching these targets. With such information, teachers, School Boards and parents can work in partnership to raise standards in Scottish schools. HMI will report to School Boards and parents during and following school inspections, the outcomes of which are supplied to parents in the form of published reports.
Future reports are likely to include comments on a school's targets.
