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.

A follow-up report was published in June 2010: Transforming religious education.

Reaching the Key Stage 2 standard in swimming
This survey was designed to assess the impact of recent government initiatives to improve the standards and provision of swimming at Key Stage 2. Her Majesty's Inspectors (HMI) and Additional Inspectors visited 30 primary schools in 17 school sport partnerships to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of provision in primary schools, with a particular focus on the impact of the then Department for Education and Skills' national top-up swimming programme for pupils who have difficulty reaching the Key Stage 2 standard of swimming 25 metres unaided.
