The education secretary has said she would have “punched” disrespectful Ofsted inspectors that ran the rule over a school that she recently visited.
Gillian Keegan made the statement during a question-and-answer event at the Association of School and College Leaders annual conference this morning.
The senior Conservative recalled feeling “shocked” after hearing about the inspectors’ conduct as “you don’t expect somebody to come in and not be respectful”.
“I heard recently actually from a fantastic school I went into, [and] they told me how their Ofsted experience had gone,” she told the audience.
