NOTICE: Ofsted will introduce a new inspection system for schools. The system includes a colour-coded report card with five grades across six areas. Grades range from 'exceptional' to 'urgent improvement'. The single overall judgment for schools has been scrapped. Inspections will cover curriculum, teaching, attendance, behaviour, leadership, and inclusion. Parents will get a more detailed view of school performance. Some unions and school leaders oppose the changes. Ofsted says the new system aims to improve standards and provide better information to parents. (Updated 9 Sep 2025, 06:23 IST; source: link)
