I find OFSTED reports a much better way of judging schools than league tables.
League tables are heavily influenced by the area the schools are in, not just the teaching. OFSTED concentrate more on the actual standard of teaching.

ofsted often arrive at schools with the outcome allready decided and then look for the evidence to back up that decision regardless of the impact or what is actually going on.

Ofsted absolutely have an agenda, and the standard of teaching isn't it.

Q98 Chair: One is: if "good" requires pupil performance to exceed the national average, and if all schools must be good, how is this mathematically possible?

Michael Gove: By getting better all the time.

Q99 Chair: So it is possible, is it?

Michael Gove: It is possible to get better all the time.

Q100 Chair: Were you better at literacy than numeracy, Secretary of State?

Michael Gove: I cannot remember.

The trouble is that its far from being satisfactory let alone perfect. 20 minutes to damn a teacher. Thats a great way of assessing.
