How will new Ofsted school ratings work?

The new Ofsted school ratings system aims to provide a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of schools in the UK. Under the new system, schools will be rated on a four-point scale: Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, and Inadequate.

These ratings will be based on a range of factors, including student performance, teacher quality, leadership, and overall school culture. Inspectors will assess schools using a more holistic approach, taking into account not just academic achievement but also the well-being and personal development of students.

Schools will also be required to demonstrate their commitment to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, as well as effective safeguarding practices. The new ratings system will place a greater emphasis on schools’ ability to provide a well-rounded education that prepares students for success in the modern world.

Ofsted inspectors will work closely with school leaders to identify areas for improvement and support schools in implementing effective strategies to raise standards. The aim is to create a more transparent and fair system that accurately reflects the quality of education provided by schools across the country.

Overall, the new Ofsted school ratings system is designed to drive continuous improvement in schools, ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for their future.
