Does Ofsted help ‘stuck schools’ to become better?
The characteristics of state schools that are stuck – as defined by Ofsted – are disproportionately found in urban cities and towns.
In another excellent report (about the flaws of Ofsted), Education Policy Institute (EPI) and University College London (UCL) publish their findings: Can below ‘Good’ Ofsted inspections prevent sustainable improvement? (June, 2022)
The research sought to determine the characteristics of stuck schools – defined as those in a revolving spiral of ‘requires improvement’ grades.
