Recommendation 29
29
Committee to launch inquiry into Ofsted's work with schools this Autumn.
Conclusion
This Committee will be taking forward its inquiry into OFSTED’s work with schools this Autumn. The inquiry will aim to assess how well OFSTED is fulfilling its role in inspecting schools and whether and how it could be improved, to inform the work of the incoming His Majesty’s Chief Inspector. The inquiry will look at the impact of OFSTED judgements on schools and pupils, including the impact on workload and wellbeing for all members of the school community, and the usefulness of OFSTED inspections for schools and parents. The inquiry will also look at OFSTED’s complaints procedure and assess how accountable OFSTED is in its work. It will also explore the impact of the new Education Inspection Framework introduced in 2019 and we look forward to making further recommendations of the back of it and for the new HMCI’s response in due course. Appointment of His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills 13
