Union calls for halt to graded Ofsted inspections over health concerns

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) has called for a halt to graded Ofsted inspections, stating they could pose a "risk to life" for school staff. The NAHT claims the new inspection system, rolled out nearly a year ago, has had a detrimental impact on school leaders' welfare, leaving many head teachers feeling "overwhelmed" and "anxious". Despite the intention to reduce pressure, testimonies suggest the inspection process has become more stressful than ever.
