The tragic death of Ruth Perry, following an Ofsted inspection downgrade, ignited a campaign for reform of England's school inspection system, emphasizing its detrimental effects.
Coroner findings highlighted how the conduct of Ofsted inspectors was rude and intimidating, underscoring the urgent need to reevaluate the high-stakes accountability culture in education.
The proposed shift from a single-word grading system to comprehensive school report cards aims to alleviate pressure on school leaders and provide better transparency for parents.
Julia Waters emphasized that other educators face similar risks if systemic issues within the Ofsted inspection regime are not addressed, advocating for a fundamental culture change.
