Thanks for your interest, Faysal. Of course, the impact of the national climate in any inspection team an be ameliorated by the Lead Inspector – just as a school climate can be protected from pressure of national government by the headteacher. Wouldn’t it be good, though, if we could all pull in the same direction?!

OfSTED has lost sight of the ‘whole child’ in its obsession with outcomes. There is an improvement in the New Framework with its focus on achievement, on learning and on behaviour for learning. However, the process remains formulaic as it always has been. Furthermore, there is an absence of a full understanding of local social and economic contexts. One model may produce a consistency in the use of inspection criteria but it does not fit all.
