The new system sounds fairer, but more categories mean more scrutiny. Inspectors, already stretched, must judge complex areas quickly, risking inconsistency. Parents may still struggle to decode ratings & for schools, pressure mounts. Without real support, just a more detailed way to feel judged.
If Ofsted lacks resources to train inspectors fully, schools could face unfair evaluations. Granular ratings don’t ease workload—they add stress. Teachers need clear, useful feedback, not extra hoops to jump through. Without real reform, this isn’t support, just a different kind of accountability.
