The UK's education watchdog, Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills), has made a major overhaul to its school rating system. The changes will take effect immediately, and the main changes are as follows:
Major changes
1.
Single Rating Abolition: The overall ratings such as 'Outstanding', 'Good', 'Requires Improvement', and 'Inadequate' will be abolished.
2.
Maintain detailed assessment: Assessments in specific areas such as quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management will continue.
3.
New reporting system: A new ‘report card’ system for parents will be introduced from September 2025.
Background of change
The main trigger for this reorganisation was the tragic death of headteacher Ruth Perry in 2023. Perry died after suffering from extreme stress following an Ofsted inspection.
Future plans
Establish school improvement teams in every region
Mental health training for Ofsted inspectors
3 September 2024: Ofsted's independent review of its response to the Ruth Perry case is due to be published
Reactions from all walks of life
Education: Generally positive response
Principal Perry Family: Welcome the Change
Opposition party criticizes, saying it goes against the interests of parents and students
This change will be interesting to see how the UK's school assessment system evolves and what impact it will have on education.
