Good riddance. Ofsted’s one-word ranking system for schools never made any sense

If the words made no sense, the process by which they were arrived at made no sense, either. There was huge emphasis placed on attendance, which made no allowances for unusual or unavoidable circumstances. I did a story once on a school that slipped down two rankings – from “meh” to “get away from children, you monsters” – because a couple of children were long-term absent, having been placed in a witness protection programme.
