Ofsted's new inspection proposals are vague and out of date, say experts
Briefly

Proposals for overhauled school inspections face criticism from school leaders and the Department for Education for being cosmetic and vague. Ofsted has revised its toolkit, renaming grades and reducing evaluation areas from nine to seven. The new report card format is intended to replace controversial summary grades. However, skepticism remains among teachers in England. Key grade changes include renaming expected standard and exceptional grades. The proposals aim to simplify inspections, but fears from teaching unions persist.
