Hampshire Inspection and Advisory Service (HIAS)

provided by the Children's Services Department

Welcome to the HIAS Primary website

This site aims to provide information and links to resources and research that are current and pertinent to the development of high-quality teaching and learning in primary education.

The aim of our service is to support schools to:

  • achieve world class standards
  • close the gap in educational achievement for children from disadvantaged backgrounds
  • safeguard the young and vulnerable
  • ensure young people are participating and achieving their potential to18 years old and beyond
  • keep children and young people on the path to success
  • secure the health and well-being of children and young people

We have a large team of primary phase inspector/advisers, subject inspector/advisers and teaching and learning advisers. They offer bespoke support to schools based on individual need as well as offering support through conferences and HIAS led courses.

A hard copy of a brochure outlining the services has recently been sent all Hampshire schools, this is also available to download from HIAS services for 2012/2013.
