Parents want Ofsted inspections to be ‘more transparent and less high-stakes’
Parents and teachers want Ofsted inspections and the school accountability system to be more transparent, well-rounded and less high-stakes, according to a new report.
Research found that parents and carers are in favour of a report card-style Ofsted accountability model, along the lines of Labour’s proposed reforms, with only 6% saying they do not like the idea of overhauling the “one-word” judgment system, the report’s authors, Public First, said.
The report into public support for education reform suggests that 85% of parents agree on balance that Ofsted should continue to inspect schools and 60% think that inspections should change.
A total of 42%
