Conservatives pledge to boost Ofsted rather than scrap it
The idea behind"no-notice" inspections had been to reveal the unvarnished reality of schools, rather than giving staff a few hours to prepare.
"Ofsted is an independent and trusted source of information for parents and teachers and their inspections help to raise standards in our schools," said Education Secretary Gavin Williamson. It would remove grades for schools - such as outstanding, good or inadequate - and would set up a new organisation to inspect them.
The Liberal Democrats say they would replace Ofsted with a new"HM Inspector of Schools", with inspections every three years.
