New Ofsted Framework 

⭐ Key Changes in How Ofsted Reports Inspections

1. New-Look Report Cards
Ofsted has redesigned inspection outcomes to be more useful for parents and carers, giving a more detailed picture of what’s working well and what needs improvement.

2. No More Single Overall Grade
Instead of giving schools  a single overall judgement like “Good” or “Outstanding”, the new system gives multiple graded areas so you can see strengths and weaknesses more clearly.

📊 What Gets Graded

Report cards now show colour-coded grades for key aspects of education, including:

• Attendance and behaviour

• Achievement (how well children are doing)

• Curriculum and teaching

• Personal development and well-being

• Inclusion (how well the provider meets the needs of all children)
  …as well as others that may apply to early years or post-16 provision.

📈 New Grading Scale

Each area is graded on a five-point scale:

✅ Exceptional – among the very best nationally
💚 Strong Standard – consistent, excellent practice
🟢 Expected Standard – school/provider doing what it should (a high baseline)
🟠 Needs Attention – some areas to work on
🔴 Urgent Improvement – serious issues requiring quick action

➡️ Safeguarding (child safety) is reported separately as either Met or Not Met.

📌 What the New System Means for Parents/carers

• You’ll see detailed descriptions explaining why grades were given.

• This is designed to help you understand what it’s like for children and young people in the setting.

• The new report cards aim to give parents clearer, more actionable information when comparing schools or checking how well their child’s school is performing.

Parent View

Thank you to all the parents who regularly share their views and opinions during our information sessions and workshops.  We know that some of you would like to share your opinions further.  Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about your child’s school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and behaviour and conduct.

What happens if I have concerns about my child’s school?

If you are concerned about your child’s school, you should start by talking directly to the teachers, Deputy Headteachers or Executive Headteacher.  If you feel that your concerns are not resolved, please contact the Governing Body or the Local Authority. If you are not satisfied with the responses you receive Ofsted may be able to help.
