NASUWT: Ofsted report shows despite political rhetoric, schools are performing well

Responding to Ofsted’s Annual Report, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, said:

"Once again, despite the rhetoric of criticism and denigration which surrounds any announcement on the education service, Ofsted's Annual Report shows that year on year schools are continuing to secure high stands of performance.

"This report now turns the spotlight of 'under performance' on to local authorities. The likelihood is that this is nothing to do with raising standards, but is a thinly disguised strategy to create the conditions for the Secretary of State to force more local authorities into widespread academisation of local schools.”
