The former chief of Ofsted has called for an overhaul of the inspectorate’s grading system after changing his mind on one-word judgments in the wake of the death of headteacher Ruth Perry.
Sir Michael Wilshaw, former chief inspector of schools, told Tes magazine that one-word judgments should be replaced with a more “nuanced” report and he now supports the Labour Party’s plan to replace headline inspection grades with a “report card”.
