Event Details

RSA Thursday

A recent RSA report (Un)Satisfactory? Enhancing Life Chances by Improving 'Satisfactory' Schools concluded that schools with disadvantaged pupil populations are more likely to 'coast', remaining 'stubbornly satisfactory' and not improving between inspections.

In the wake of the report, Ofsted announced that it would be changing the "satisfactory" rating to "requires improvement". Ofsted's chief inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said he wants to send a message that "satisfactory" is now unsatisfactory and that more schools should be pushing for the higher rating of "good".

Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted chief inspector joins Professor Becky Francis, RSA director of education to discuss the implications of this development and how more schools can be supported to improve their teaching.

Chair: Greg Hurst, Times Education Editor
