Sir Martyn Oliver, Chief Inspector of Ofsted, spoke at the 2026 Festival of Education in Berkshire, reviewing the organisation’s renewed inspection approach that began in November. He highlighted that nearly 84 % of schools and further‑education providers meet or exceed the expected standard in leadership and governance, and 85 % of further‑education grades and 89 % of schools achieve the same in inclusion. Attendance and behaviour scores also exceed 84 % expected standard, while personal development and wellbeing are at 95 %. Oliver noted the focus on transparent toolkits, reflective practice, and sustained professional learning as key to improving teaching quality. He urged continued collaboration between inspectors and educators to support vulnerable learners.
