Sir Michael Wilshaw told MPs on the Education Select Committee that the schools inspectorate’s one-word judgment ‘needs to go’.
Ofsted’s claim that nearly 90% of state schools in England are good is “complete nonsense”, a former chief inspector of schools has said.
Sir Michael Wilshaw, who was head of Ofsted between 2012 and 2016, told MPs on the Education Select Committee on Tuesday that the judgments give “false comfort” to parents and head teachers.“I think the days of the one-word judgment are coming to an end,” he said.Sir Michael continued: “Ofsted says that nearly 90% of schools are good, that’s nonsense. That’s complete nonsense.
“The same with head teachers – once they’ve got a good judgment they can relax and not address weaknesses that there are in that school.There have been widespread calls for Ofsted to revamp its school ratings system following the death of Ruth Perry. The school, in Reading, Berkshire, was reinspected on June 21 and 22 and the fresh report, which does not mention Ms Perry, rates it good in all categories.
