09 Feb 2012
Delivering his first major speech since becoming Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw HMCI today launched detailed proposals for changes to Ofsted inspection.
Speaking at the London Leadership Strategy ‘Good to great’ conference, he set out his ambition that all children will receive a good or better education and the steps Ofsted proposes to drive faster change.
Sir Michael reiterated plans to replace the satisfactory judgement with ‘requires improvement’ and for all school inspections to be undertaken without notice. He also announced a raising of expectations for outstanding schools and a tighter focus on the way in which headteachers are driving the quality of teaching in their schools.
