The Government's decision to scrap single-word ratings from Ofsted comes as a response to heightened concerns following the tragic suicide of headteacher Ruth Perry, emphasizing the need for a more nuanced approach to school evaluations.
Ofsted will still measure schools against the same standards; however, the revised grading system will focus on specific areas of performance rather than providing an overall rating, which may reduce the pressure felt by schools.
With around 500 schools in England achieving an outstanding rating, including six in Haringey, the implications of this change in grading could significantly affect how these schools are perceived and evaluated in the future.
Gladesmore Community School in Haringey has not been inspected since 2013, raising questions about the relevancy of its outstanding rating compared to schools that have undergone more recent evaluations.
