Headteachers in England are expressing strong opposition to Ofsted's proposed changes regarding school grading, leading them to threaten quitting their roles as part-time inspectors. This warning comes amid government efforts by Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson and Ofsted Chief Martyn Oliver, highlighting the tension around inspection reforms seen as critical in the government’s plan. Representing nearly all senior leaders through a letter, the National Association of Head Teachers and the Association of School and College Leaders outlined concerns about workload burdens and mental health, indicating dissatisfaction with the current timetable for implementing these changes.
Headteachers are considering withdrawing as Ofsted inspectors unless the government revises proposed changes to school grading, stating this highlights their strong opposition.
The National Association of Head Teachers warns headteachers' significant workload may worsen due to Ofsted's new grading system, undermining trust and wellbeing.
