Baroness Smith of Malvern (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 February 2025

Debate

School Accountability and Intervention

Contribution

That, of course, is the responsibility of the chief inspector and the structures in Ofsted, but I am sure that everybody takes the noble Viscount’s point that there needs to be quality in those who are inspecting our schools, as well as the expected quality in those who are directly delivering education.
