A second head teachers’ union has called for graded Ofsted inspections in England to be halted, saying it is increasingly concerned about the welfare and morale of its members.
The union’s position adds to existing pressure on Ofsted over its use of graded inspections in schools. The supplied information does not identify the union or provide details of the earlier call for inspections to stop.
The concerns centre on the effect of the inspection process on head teachers’ wellbeing and morale. No further details have been provided about Ofsted’s response, any proposed changes to inspections or the timing of future decisions.
The latest position is that calls to suspend graded inspections are continuing, with the issue remaining focused on the welfare of school leaders in England.
