Ofsted is set to introduce a five-step grading scale for schools in England, moving away from the traditional four to six sub-grades tied to a cumulative headline. This change follows a commitment from the government to reform school inspections after the tragic implications of an inspection on educator Ruth Perry's death. Schools will now be evaluated on eight core areas, including leadership and student behaviour, allowing for a more detailed report card that clarifies both strengths and areas for development without a singular exaggerated headline grade.
The government's overhaul aims to replace the existing four-grade scale with a new five-step scale for judging schools, beginning with a public consultation soon.
Ofsted proposes a nuanced grading system for schools that focuses on eight core areas, enhancing clarity for school leaders and parents.
