The government has said it has “no plans” to change single-phrase Ofsted judgments, following reports they could be scrapped following Ruth Perry’s death.
The Department for Education’s response to the education committee’s report on Ofsted, which was due at the end of March, is set to be published on Thursday.
In their report in January, MPs said a more “nuanced” alternative to “totemic” Ofsted single-phrase judgments should be developed as a “priority”.
But the department today denied plans were afoot to change one-word judgments after the Sunday Times reported they were likely to be scrapped.
