We asked over 3,000 school leaders about Ofsted’s plans for inspectors to make graded sub-judgements. 92% told us they are opposed. Ofsted needs to go back to the drawing board, urgently reconsider these ill-thought-through plans, and listen to the profession.

96% of school leaders do not trust Ofsted to make meaningful changes based on their views to the consultation launched earlier this week.

The response has been enormous! We have received more than 1,900 free-text comments from school leaders sharing their views and concerns about Ofsted’s proposals – that’s 100 pages! Here are just a few of them 👇👇👇
