Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
I am no fan of Ofsted ratings or of the body itself, which the Green Party seeks to abolish, but schools which join MATs are less likely to improve their Ofsted rating and more likely to decline, with 30% of outstanding local authority schools keeping their grading versus 7% of MAT primary schools that started with that status.
