This timely book delves into the exploration of a meaningful school accountability system in England. It begins by embarking on a comprehensive analysis of the current inspection model, shedding light on the prevailing pressures within the system and comparing it to approaches in other countries and sectors. The author then delves into the perception and portrayal of Ofsted and school inspections, utilizing firsthand accounts, academic papers, government publications, and media reports to unravel the current thinking on potential improvements.

Concluding the book, the author presents her own proposals for a more meaningful and humane school accountability system. She advocates for a reevaluation of our practices and methodologies, urging a broad consultation process that is driven by evidence-informed reform of the school inspection process.

Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in shaping a more effective and equitable school accountability system in England.
