Workforce reform in schools: has it made a difference?

26 Jan 2010 Ofsted

Ref: 080263

This is the fifth report by Ofsted to evaluate the effectiveness of workforce reform. This small-scale study shows that, in the most effective schools visited, workforce reform had made a considerable difference to pupils’ learning because leaders had ensured that all their staff had clear professional status, were well trained, were deployed effectively and were held accountable for contributing to pupils’ learning and well-being. Despite the recommendations of the four previous reports by Ofsted, only a minority of the schools visited had a secure knowledge of the national occupational standards and the career development framework to help them develop their workforce.
