Abstract	The article examines the genesis of school inspection in South East Wales during the period 1839-1843 through the writing of Hugh Seymour Tremenheere, one of the first school inspectors. It discusses the formation of the new inspectorate and provides a narrative analysis of educational provision and social, cultural and economic conditions prevailing at the time. It then critically assesses Tremenheere's 1839 Report paying particular attention to the question of bias and the evident lack of impartiality. The final section is concerned with the concepts of accountability and inspection as a means of social control and the extent to which education can control working class patterns of thought, sentiment and behaviour. (Contains 91 footnotes.) (As Provided).
