We hear these experiences time and time again. Our members are being subjected to degrading inspections that are driving them out of the education system.

It is time to #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

One-word judgements may be gone but we have one word to describe Ofsted: Failing.

It is letting our educators and our pupils down.

It is time to #AbolishOfsted. #TimeForRadicalReform

Ofsted claims to operate in the interests of pupils and parents. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The inspectorate is failing our pupils. That has to change. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

Instead of an inspectorate that supports educators and pupils, we have a disciplinarian organisation that makes them anxious. That must change. Removing one-word judgements is a welcome start - but change must go further. #TimeForRadicalReform

Ofsted is destroying positive working relationships in schools and driving educators from the profession. Ofsted is not fit for purpose and cannot continue wreaking havoc across the education system. #AbolishOfsted. #TimeForRadicalReform

Ofsted claims to operate in the interests of pupils and parents. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The inspectorate is failing our pupils. That has to change. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

Some of the stories our members tell us about Ofsted are disgraceful. No child and no educator should be belittled by inspectors. We need systems of support, Ofsted cannot provide that. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

If the inspectorate isn’t geared towards upskilling educators and supporting them then how can it serve pupils? We need less bureaucracy and more support in our education system. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

Ofsted inspections shouldn’t make teachers feel their jobs are at risk. We need a system that supports, not intimidates. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform
