As a high proportion of special schools ‘fail’ their inspections, the DfEE commissioned researchers from the University of the West of England (UWE) to examine post‐inspection improvement. Can other schools learn from the ‘best practice’ identified? John Dwyfor Davies, John Lee, Keith Postlethwaite, Jane Tarr and Wan Ching Yee (all of whom lecture and research at UWE) and Gary Thomas, now Chair of Education at Oxford Brookes University, report on their findings, which point strongly to the need for good target‐setting and monitoring, together with strong support.
