Ofsted has published its new education inspection framework which will take effect from September 2019.

It says inspectors will spend less time looking at exam results and test data, and more time considering how a nursery, school, college or other education provider has achieved their results.

It will also introduce two new key judgements, evaluating learners' 'behaviour and attitudes' separately from their 'personal development'.
