Briefing
Updates From
School Governor Service
Ofsted Report –’The most able students’
• National data show that too many of the most able students are still being let down and are failing to reach their full potential.
• Schools visited were rarely meeting the distinct needs of students who are most able and disadvantaged.
• Assessment, performance tracking and target setting for the most able students in Key Stage 4 were generally good, but were not effective enough in Key Stage 3.
• Ofsted has sharpened its focus on the progress and quality of teaching of the most able students.
