Early days for the new framework, but based on the outcomes for the first 50 or so secondary schools to be inspected, those with lower-attaining intakes are disproportionately more likely to be deemed as needing attention for achievement

12 of 53 secondary schools were judged needs attention for achievement when inspected under the new Ofsted framework. All but one had a Year 11 cohort with below average prior attainment in 2023/24

Is it time to give up on (or reform) the EBacc? We don't expect more than 40% of pupils to enter this year. And, apart from small variations, the proportion of pupils entering the full EBacc hasn't really changed since 2014. 🔗 ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2024/08/five...
