Golden Hillock report
In the Golden Hillock report, Ofsted said: “Too little is done to keep students safe from the risks associated with extremist views.”[1]
Ofsted role in academisation
In 2023 filmmaker Chester Yang produced a documentary entitled The Great Schools Robbery about how schools are being sold off to the private sector through enforced academisation. The film exposes the privatisation of state-owned schools in England, and the role of Ofsted in converting them into academies. A school that is rated as 'inadequate' by Ofsted is subject to repeat inspections until it 'improves'. But once a school becomes an academy, its rating is immediately removed and the academy is not inspected by Ofsted for at least two years.
