29 November 2019 Higher proportion of secondary schools lost their outstanding grade

Schools graded as outstanding are currently exempt from Ofsted inspections.  However, Ofsted can inspect them if it has concerns, and in 2018-19 382 of them were inspected.

Data published this week shows that 75% of the outstanding secondary schools inspected were downgraded, compared to 38% in the previous year.

86% of the outstanding primary schools inspected were downgraded, compared to 80% in the previous year.

In September, plans to lift the exemption were announced but the process for this has not yet started.
