NAHT is preparing its response to the Education Select Committee’s inquiry into the role and performance of Ofsted and would welcome members’ views on the seven areas below.
-
What the purposes of inspection should be (relating not only to schools but to all organisations, settings and services under Ofsted’s remit)
-
The impact of the inspection process on school improvement
-
The performance of Ofsted in carrying out its work
-
The consistency and quality of inspection teams in the Ofsted inspection process
-
The weight given to different factors within the inspection process
-
Whether inspection of all organisations, settings and services to support children’s learning and welfare is best conducted by a single inspectorate
-
The role of Ofsted in providing an accountability mechanism for schools operating with greater autonomy
It is hoped that the draft submission can be agreed by National Council later this month, so responses are requested by 9am Friday 17th September.
