Ofsted has provided a first look at what its new school report cards will look like after scrapping its old one or two-word judgements.
They are due to be introduced in the 2025 autumn term, with Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson saying they will provide "rich, granular insight" to help deliver "tailored" support for struggling schools.
But they have drawn strong criticism from school leaders, who said the proposals risked "replicating the worst aspects of the current system".
