Heads say new inspections will be worse for wellbeing

|September 26, 2025
NEARLY two in three (65%) headteachers say the new Ofsted school inspections will be worse for their wellbeing than the old system, a poll has found.
-
Pepe Di'lasio, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said the findings are “deeply worrying”, and the new system, which includes report cards with a five-point grading scale across multiple areas, will deter people from becoming teachers and school leaders.
The survey of 1,080 school and college leaders in England found 74% of headteachers said they were not satisfied with Ofsted's new inspection system, and 80% said the timeline for the reforms does not give them enough time to prepare for the changes.
