The @ascl-uk.bsky.social leaders' union has floated the idea of a '3+ point scale' for Ofsted judgments, as it called on the government and inspectorate to delay reforms to 2026
It warned current plans will leave leaders 'in a worse position than they are now'

‘Education at the heart of the national conversation’
On accountability: "I know the proposed changes are challenging. I know they’ve sparked debate. But that’s right where education should be, at the heart of our national conversation. That’s why we're consulting on this...We need to hear from young people, parents, teachers and leaders."
