While schools have typically been evaluated based on their Ofsted rating, this is all set to change as single headline grades for schools will be scrapped with “immediate effect” according to the government website.
Single headline grades have been described by the government as “reductive” as they do not provide an assessment of the school’s performance overall across a range of areas.
This academic year, parents will instead see four grades across each of the following sub-categories: Quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management.
Therefore, the ratings that schools have now will be the final single headline grades they receive before this change in evaluation is implemented.
