Ofsted under attack because of the renewed inspection framework

There has been a recent press release by Ofsted (9th October) regarding the independent evaluation by IFF of the new education inspection's framework (EIF). This is amid mounting heavy criticism of the EIF from teaching unions and schools. However, the independent evaluation's press release found that:

'Ofsted’s renewed (EIF) introduced new evaluation areas and grades – set out in colour-coded report cards – and placed a greater emphasis on inclusion, wellbeing and collaboration throughout the inspection process'.

But that same evaluation admitted that: 'The research also identified some ongoing concerns to be addressed. Workload and wellbeing remain the clearest challenges, with 4 out of 10 providers saying the inspection negatively affected their or their staff’s mental wellbeing ‘a fair amount’ or ‘a lot’ – rising to nearly half in schools'.  It was found that 88% said it had “negatively affected” the mental wellbeing of school staff, including 29% who said it affected them “a lot” (Guardian). Both the Association of Schools and College leaders (ASCL) and the National Association of Headteachers (NAHT) are considering strike action.  

Amid all this wave of protests, Lucy Powell, Secretary of State for Education had already had stated that she wants Ofsted to 'go back to the drawing board'. Lucy's key details of her proposed changes include; taking into account the socio-economic context of schools together with schools with more challenging contexts not to be penalised as well as.... teacher well-being. This will probably be reflected in the report cards, but they are to remain.

To me, this seems to be 'tinkering around the edges' rather than a radical overhaul of Ofsted. Let us have 'ICT with Mr P.'  summarise the current state of affairs concerning EIF.
