Health and social care: good practice post-16
This report presents factors which enable post-16 learners to make good progress in the area of health and social care. Between September 2005 and February 2006, inspectors visited 24 providers where provision had been judged to be good or outstanding at their last inspection. Examples of good practice are illustrated with case studies, and recommendations for improvement are made.

Healthy schools, healthy children? The contribution of education to pupils' health and well-being
This report looks at the contribution of education to pupils' health and well-being. It is based on visits to 18 schools selected because of their good practice in the context of health education. It is the first major Ofsted survey on the broader aspects of health and well-being since the introduction of the Every Child Matters agenda. The findings are intended to disseminate best practice and to help institutions improve this aspect of their work.

History in the balance
The report evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of history in primary and secondary schools. It does so at a time of changing contexts and lively debate on the future of the subject. The Every Child Matters agenda to maximise pupils' potential raises significant questions about what is taught and how. There is also much public and political interest in issues of citizenship, the understanding of British values and social cohesion. In reflecting on evidence from inspection, the report considers how history teaching might respond to these challenges.

How colleges improve
The purpose of this review document is to stimulate discussion in the further education sector about how improvement might best be accelerated and barriers to change overcome. The first part illustrates the characteristics of those colleges that improved their performance between first and second cycle Ofsted inspections. This is followed by a review of the factors impeding change in those colleges judged by Ofsted to be satisfactory but not improving in second cycle inspections.
