Hi I'm Theo and this is People on the Street. Today I'm out in Manchester asking people
00:03
about school league tables. Now similarly to Ofsted there's been questions over whether
00:08
league tables help or hinder schools from being able to develop themselves and the kids
00:13
that they educate. So we want to know whether people think it's a good idea or whether they'd
00:16
like to see some sort of change in the system.
00:19
So I think Ofsted should be disbanded, done away with and teachers left to teach in schools.
00:26
I mean yeah just let the teachers do their thing, let them learn and do their training.
00:29
I mean the best I could say is maybe just have, instead of it being a big graded thing,
00:33
just have people come in, watch and then just leave it at that. You don't need to make a
00:36
grade, just have them watch so that they know it's all done alright and then if anything's
00:40
particularly bad they can say you've got to stop it.
00:42
My wife is a retired primary school teacher and hated SATs, hated Ofsted. She just loved
00:49
children, she loved learning and teaching children. I've been a school governor for
00:53
13 years. I don't think Ofsted are worth anything like the salaries they get.
