Episode 214:

This week onThinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by Shannen Doherty and Louise McLaughlin to discuss the first two points in Ofsted’s reform proposal - Report Cards and Inspection Toolkits. We take a deep dive into the potential benefits, the likely impact on schools, and the unintended consequences that could arise from these changes.

We discuss:

The rationale behind Ofsted’s proposed reforms.
Whether Report Cards will provide greater clarity or create new challenges.
How Inspection Toolkits might change the way schools prepare for inspection.
The unintended consequences that could emerge from these proposals.

With school accountability under constant scrutiny, this episode offers an essential discussion for educators, leaders, and policymakers looking to understand what these reforms could mean in practice.
