Ofsted one-word grading scrapped, now what?

Listen on

Episode notes

It’s been announced that the one and two-word Ofsted ratings for schools will be scrapped with immediate effect. 

The Government said the change, which follows the suicide of head teacher Ruth Perry in 2023, was needed to reduce the high stakes for schools and give parents a better picture.

Darren Northcott, National Official for Education at NASUWT, gives his reaction and discusses whether the changes go far enough. 

In part two, the Standard’s culture writer, Vicky Jessop, joins us to discuss why Oasis fans across the country have been left feeling outraged over dynamic ticket pricing.
