The new Ofsted inspection framework is detrimental to schools, staff, parents, and students. The chance to overhaul the system by removing one-word grades was missed, leaving the harsh and high-stakes impacts unchanged. How can you help? See the comment for more

Ofsted’s new Nandos-style framework is just ‘high-level tinkering’ – not the urgent reform we needed for a fair, supportive inspection system. @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social this won’t fix recruitment or retention in schools #AbolishOfsted

Why Ofsted’s school inspection shakeup risks causing new problems
Ofsted's new 'traffic light' rating system comes into force this week - does this mark meaningful change or, as one expert puts it, 'high level tinkering'?

Ofsted’s new reforms, rolled out this week despite widespread concern amongst the profession, will not support schools.
Educators deserve an inspectorate that supports them, not one that punishes them.

Ofsted’s inspections are superficial and don’t help parents understand school life.
Educators and parents are being let down by an outdated inspectorate. It is time for radical change.

Ofsted has failed to take seriously the enormous concerns of the profession. It is a discredited organisation with its name continually in the mud. It is incapable of introspection or change – time to #AbolishOfsted and replace it with a new system that is supportive, effective and far.

We hear these experiences time and time again. Our members are being subjected to degrading inspections that are driving them out of the education system.
