The right-learning think-tank Policy Exchange is undertaking an inquiry asking whether the inspectorate is “fit-for-purpose” and is seeking views from professionals on the ground.
The specific questions that researchers are asking in their call for evidence include:
• Do you feel Ofsted inspectors make accurate assessments of teaching in your school, and the progress of students, through the use of data, lesson observation and other techniques?
• Do you feel under pressure to adapt the way you teach, mark or any other practices to meet Ofsted requirements, or encourage others to do so? Do you feel this is positive or negative?
• Have you ever felt under pressure, at your current school or previous schools, to “game” the system, either by presenting data in a certain way, or changing your normal practice during an inspection?
