ESTYN has launched a survey to ask residents in Wrexham for their views on how well education services provided by Wrexham Council support schools and youth services.
The survey asks parents, carers, learners and anyone working or involved in education to help inspectors judge how effective the education services are at ensuring young people receive the education they are entitled to.
The survey is part of the new inspection framework for local government education services in Wales. Results from the survey will be used to inform the inspection of Wrexham which begins in October.
Meilyr Rowlands, Chief Inspector for Estyn, said: “Local views from those involved with schools and youth services are vital to help give a picture on how well the council is performing.
“Inspectors will be considering how well the education services help pupils to achieve, support those who are vulnerable or have particular needs and provide youth support services for those aged 11-25.”
Cllr Phil Wynn, Lead Member for Education at Wrexham Council, said: “Given the importance of inspections carried out by Estyn, and the upcoming all-authority inspection, we would encourage everyone with an interest in education in Wrexham to take part in Estyn’s survey.”
The survey is open until September 27 and can be found at https://www.estyn.gov.wales/inspection-survey-wrexham
