Ofsted바카라 사이트™s new inspection arrangements to focus on curriculum, behaviour and development
Ofsted has published the outcome of the consultation on its new education inspection framework, which will take effect from September 2019.
- Inspections to focus on what children actually learn, ahead of results
- Designed to discourage culture of 바카라 사이트˜teaching to the test바카라 사이트™
- New 바카라 사이트˜behaviour바카라 사이트™ judgement to give parents reassurance on bullying
From September 2019, Ofsted will refocus inspections of schools, early years settings and further education and skills providers, to make sure that learners are receiving a high-quality education that puts them on a path to future success.
Ofsted inspectors will spend less time looking at exam results and test data, and more time considering how a nursery, school, college or other education provider has achieved their results. That is, whether they are the outcome of a broad, rich curriculum and real learning, or of teaching to the test and exam cramming.
The changes follow a 3-month public consultation, which prompted more than 15,000 responses 바카라 사이트“ the highest number Ofsted has ever received.
Read the consultation outcome report.
Ofsted confirmed today that it will proceed with its headline proposal for a new 바카라 사이트˜quality of education바카라 사이트™ judgement, after it received strong support from three-quarters of respondents.
More than three-quarters of respondents also supported plans to introduce 2 new key judgements, evaluating learners바카라 사이트™ 바카라 사이트˜behaviour and attitudes바카라 사이트™ separately from their 바카라 사이트˜personal development바카라 사이트™.
The 바카라 사이트˜behaviour and attitudes바카라 사이트™ judgement will assess whether leaders are creating a calm and orderly environment, where bullying is tackled effectively by leaders when it occurs. While the 바카라 사이트˜personal development바카라 사이트™ judgement will recognise the work early years providers, schools and colleges do to build young people바카라 사이트™s resilience and confidence in later life, including through participation in sport, music and extra-curricular activities.
Together, these changes will make it easier for Ofsted to recognise and reward early years providers, schools and colleges that are doing the best they can for their pupils, particularly those working in challenging circumstances.
Schools will be empowered to always put the child first and be actively discouraged from negative practices, such as 바카라 사이트˜off-rolling바카라 사이트™, where schools remove pupils in their own best interests, rather than that of the pupils. Such schools are likely to find their 바카라 사이트˜leadership and management바카라 사이트™ judged inadequate under the new framework.
All inspection judgements will continue to be awarded under the current 4-point grading scale: outstanding; good; requires improvement; and inadequate. Reports will be redesigned and shortened to give parents the key information they need to know about a school and a sense of how it feels to be a pupil there.
HM Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman said:
This was the largest-ever consultation Ofsted has undertaken and I am very grateful to all those who took the time to respond.
The new framework puts the real substance of education at the heart of inspection and supports leaders and teachers who act with integrity. We hope early years, schools and college leaders will no longer feel the need to generate and analyse masses of internal data for inspection. Instead, we want them to spend their time teaching and making a real difference to children바카라 사이트™s lives, which is why they entered the profession in the first place.
Our goal is really simple: to be a force for improvement through our inspections. We want to provide parents with the assurance they need, support teachers and leaders to excel 바카라 사이트“ and help make sure all children and learners to get the education they deserve.
The consultation was the result of nearly 2 years of research and engagement with teachers, headteachers, governors, unions, academics and parents. The new framework and inspection handbooks, published today, will be used across all education inspections from September 2019.
