Confidence in Ofsted’s leadership rises under Spielman
A survey of civil servants working for Ofsted shows that 70 per cent are confident in the watchdog’s “clear vision” for the future, which is up 13 percentage points from last year.
This reflects well for Amanda Spielman, who took the position of chief inspector in January.
The Ofsted survey, which was answered by 1,529 staff, also found that 70 per cent of staff had confidence in the decisions made by senior managers – up by seven percentage points from last year. More than half - 51 per cent - felt change was managed well – up by eight percentage points from last year.
The survey also found that 75 per cent of workers said they were proud to tell people they worked for Ofsted, up by five percentage points from last year.
