Recommendation 18

18 Paragraph: 62

Improve Ofsted's transparency by publishing comprehensive information and data wherever possible.

Conclusion
We have heard that access to training materials gives school leaders working as inspectors a disproportionate advantage over those who do not, and that Ofsted does not make enough data available to qualified researchers. While we accept that Ofsted publishes many other materials to support schools with inspections and that there are some restrictions in publishing personal data, we believe that Ofsted should improve its transparency by publishing as much information as possible.
