Chief inspector of schools Amanda Spielman said a new non-judgemental approach was needed, offering the schools tailored support.Marking quite a shift in its approach, Ofsted wants to offer such schools targeted assistance following more thorough and detailed inspections that are not tied to any judgement.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said it was working with Ofsted to look at how best to support these schools. "Instead of stigmatising these schools we need to make them places where teachers and leaders want to work."An Ofsted report, In Fight or Flight? How stuck schools are overcoming isolation, says 415 schools serving 210,000 pupils have potentially left the equivalent of two whole school cohorts of children without a good education.
