🚨 NEW OFSTED ANALYSIS: 'ACHIEVEMENT' RELEASED🚨
🔵 400+ inspections analysed
🔵 Common features for those rated as 'Needs Attention' or 'Urgent Improvement'?
Comment below or DM me if you want me to send you the full copy 📝
New Ofsted management information is out — and it gives us an early glimpse of what inspections are showing under the renewed framework.
The important word here is early.
The latest data covers inspections published up to 30 April 2026, but only a small proportion of schools have been inspected under the renewed model so far. So this is not the whole national picture — but it is a useful signal.
What stands out?
Safeguarding is overwhelmingly being judged as met.
The areas most likely to need attention are:
• achievement
• curriculum and teaching
• attendance and behaviour
• leadership and governance
For leaders, the takeaway is not to panic or chase labels.
It is to be clear on the story your school can tell:
How does curriculum connect to classroom practice?
How are attendance, behaviour and inclusion affecting achievement?
How do governors know what is working?
Where are pupils not learning as securely as they should — and what is being done about it?
This is useful early data, but it needs careful interpretation.

Dear @educationgovuk@Georgia_Gould We politely request that the criteria for the 'transitional grant' phase for Primary Schools (as part of new £1bn PESSPA new strategy) is published long before Oct/ Nov expected release of individual school grant allocations. It is so important that schools are provided with adequate time to plan for effective spend that hits specific DfE targets that to date remain unknown apart from swimming and water safety. Might it be possible to publish the criteria by no later than the end of THIS term? Thank you.

Lisa thank you for your prompt response re both the PE & school sport, Government’s announcement. We know the detail will be critical in bringing about a trailblazing game changer & hopefully not a similar act, wearing a different cloak.
Please fly the flag to make a difference

With the redirection of funding, physical education must be at the heart of a child’s development from Early Years through to the end of the school years.
There is much for those in charge of #PhysicalEducation subject governance as well as advisory support + teachers to learn from by way of the following @Guardian editorial and subsequent letters: https://t.co/VTP2fvljch + https://t.co/HQN1vYQfHA As a starting point, there is the focus of reporting that falls upon Sport as opposed to real meaning of Physical Education that demonstrates long established cemented attitudes + inadequate recognition of the latter perpetrated by successive Governments' inadequate understanding of this NC subject.
There is the reveal of a failed political mindset focused upon sedentary academia as opposed to the potent cross-curricular links that movement learning can bring to transform how pupils develop and thrive
There remains the absence of meaningful, qualitative, on-site inspection of subject-specific management and teaching standards with accountability and scrutiny all too often glossed over or 'measured' by @educationgovuk remotely from Sanctuary Buildings via website analysis.
This is where we are at after 20 years of 'ring fenced' funding across x2 National PE + Sport Strategies with 'postcode lottery' outcomes rather than ensuring that ALL pupils have been able to thrive.
