Shadow education secretary Damian Hinds said scrapping the 'vital' headline inspection outcome 'is not in the best interest of pupils or parents'. It said this will 'provide parents with a full and comprehensive assessment of how schools are performing and ensure inspections are more effective in driving improvement'.
Unions have long campaigned for Ofsted reform but it gathered momentum after the tragic death of headteacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life while waiting for an Ofsted report which had downgraded her school. But last night, the Labour-run Department for Education said they 'fail to provide a fair and accurate assessment' of overall school performance and are supported only by a 'minority' of parents and teachers.
From early 2025, the Government will also introduce 'Regional Improvement Teams' to work with struggling schools. Ruth Perry's family say changes to Ofsted judgements are 'long overdue' The family of tragic headteacher Ruth Perry say they are 'delighted and relieved' at the scrapping of one-word judgments.
