Rescue Our Schools has been approached by the BBC about Ofsted inspections following this story that they’re being re-instated for outstanding schools. See the article here
Many haven’t been inspected in over 10 years. The BBC journalist would like to hear people’s views as follows: what do you make of this decision? Do parents rely on Ofsted ratings when choosing their children’s schools? What else do or should they take into account when choosing a school for their children? Do you have any views on inspections in general? If you would like to send the journalist a comment, please email daniel.wainwright@bbc.co.uk. Thank you in advance!
Totally agree- schools do not maintain Outstanding forever- and the framework for inspection changes. However the inspections should be much less frequent- perhaps every 8 years- unless there is a change in the headteacher.
