The Future Of Ofsted

EDM number 481 in 2014-15, proposed by George Galloway on 05/11/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Schools and Standards.

That this House is deeply concerned that despite spending £382 million a year on inspections by Ofsted more than half of under-performing schools did not improve after intervention while nearly two-thirds improved despite no intervention; joins with the National Audit Office in agreeing that the Department for Education is unable to show what helps in tackling low standards; believes that Ofsted has become a political tool for ill-thought out policies and political prejudices; and therefore believes that the schools' inspectorate Ofsted is not fit for purpose and should be rapidly wound up.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
