Schools leaders have called for a crackdown on what they term “rogue school inspectors”. It comes as Ofsted published its annual report, which showed a rising number of “good” and “outstanding” schools.

Currently, 70 per cent of schools are rated as good or better, compared with 66 per cent three years ago. There are also nearly 1,000 more outstanding schools than there were three years ago, and nearly 1,000 fewer schools ranked as “inadequate” or “satisfactory”.

For secondary schools, 26 per cent are ranked outstanding compared with 24 per cent a year ago; 40 per cent are good compared with 42 per cent last year. Around 30 per cent remain satisfactory and three per cent inadequate.
