Ofsted will change its website so visitors see the “full range of component grades” for each provider “at a glance”, and not just their overall effectiveness.
Announcing the change at the ASCL conference this morning, new chief inspector Sir Martyn Oliver said the change “neither promises nor precludes further changes to our gradings, but I hope it shows that we are listening”.
At present, each college or training organisation’s page on Ofsted’s website only shows the headline judgment for each inspection.
The change will mean that, for each inspection, the pages will also show all the component judgments – quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management – as well as ratings for early years provision if they have it.
