From today (Friday 10 May), Ofsted will display each of the
sub-judgements awarded to an individual school - alongside its
overall effectiveness grade - at the top of its inspection report
web page.
This change means parents are now able to see, at-a-glance, a
more rounded picture of a school, including the quality of
education on offer, the strength of leadership, its approach to
behaviour and pupils' attitudes to learning, and how it will
support their child's personal development.
Ofsted will now publish sub-judgements for all past and future
graded school inspections carried out under the Education
Inspection Framework, which launched in September 2019.
The four sub-judgements are:
- Quality of education
- Behaviour and attitudes
- Personal development
- Leadership and management
The inspection report website will also display the sub-judgement
for any early year's or sixth form provision at a school.
Ofsted Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver, said:
“Parents are now able to see all a school's sub-judgments without
having to open its full report. This will help them see a more
rounded, contextual picture of how well a school is doing and how
it might work for their child.
“I hope this change shows that we have listened to parents and
teachers, and that, while Our Big Listen continues until the end
of the month, we are acting where we can now. This change is a
small but important step in helping parents get more from
Ofsted's inspection reports.”
