It’s a pertinent question. Who is really running Ofsted? To outward appearances Ofsted and the Department for Education work together, but the reality behind the rhetoric may be rather different.

In the past, with more than a third of England’s children educated in church schools, the core issue has been religious belief and its expression in the public square. The Fair Admissions Campaign has tried hard to remove any kind of cap on faith school places, making them all open access. It hasn’t worked ..read more

The school’s categorisation fell from ‘good’ to ‘standards not met’. The report published this week is for the third monitoring visit – according to Ofsted, standards are still not met, and Schoolsweek cheerfully named the school a ..read more
