Ofsted's new school report card worse than old system, say headteachers
Briefly

The Ofsted inspectorate's proposal to change school inspections in England, including a new report card system, faces heavy criticism from headteachers, teachers' unions, and families affected by previous inspections. The new grading system divides evaluations into eight areas with a five-step scale, aiming to reduce stress on schools, but many union leaders find it confusing and ineffective. Martyn Oliver, the chief inspector, believes the system will provide clearer insights for parents, yet concerns linger about its potential to exacerbate existing pressures within the education system.
The proposed overhaul of inspections in England has been criticized for being demoralizing and potentially worse than the current system, amplifying concerns from educators.
Union leaders have denounced the changes as bewildering and ineffective, leaving the new inspection system's future uncertain amidst a 12-week consultation period.
