Ofsted Chief Wants State School Standards Enshrined in Law
Oliver, the Ofsted chief inspector, has called for state school standards to be enshrined in law to prevent the watchdog from "tinkering" with assessments in the future.
State school standards enshrined in law
Sir Martyn Oliver addressed hundreds of academy trust leaders at the Confederation of School Trusts' annual conference in Birmingham, stating that new legislation would stop Ofsted from "deciding to do something new" and ensure consistency.
- The proposed standards would be set by the Department for Education (DfE).
- It is unclear what the standards would cover or how they would differ from existing statutory guidance.
