Ofsted’s remote education research report: key points and debate

Ofsted published a remote education research report, based on interviews, focus groups, questionnaires and a literature review, all carried out between the summer and end of 2020. It’s a substantial and necessary piece of work that we welcome. It contains a wealth of findings from school leaders and teachers and it’s refreshing that it references the research that’s already taken place in the field while acknowledging that less is known about the school sector when it comes to remote learning.
