MPs will investigate the impact Ofsted has on school standards and the “workload and wellbeing” of their leaders and staff amid a “notable groundswell of criticism” of the watchdog.
The Parliamentary education committee has today launched an inquiry into the way schools are inspected.
It will look at the current inspection framework, which was introduced in 2019, and “examine whether this has had an impact on school standards and the workload and wellbeing of teachers and school leaders”.
It comes amid fierce criticism of Ofsted following the death of headteacher Ruth Perry.
