NFER comment on Ofsted’s the Big Listen consultation response

“We welcome Ofsted's openness and willingness to listen and take action. The consultation response contains a number of changes which will help to improve the inspection process, and which reflect some of the changes NFER has been calling for.

“We look forward to seeing more detail about exactly how support and intervention from the government will be targeted under the new system.

“It is important report cards do not become overly complex and that any steps to reform the system are carefully designed to consider the potential wider and longer-term implications.”
