At a House of Commons public accounts committee (PAC) hearing, Amanda Spielman told MPs that 72 outstanding schools have been inspected this academic year.
Of these, three-quarters have been downgraded and in 30 per cent of cases they have slipped two ratings and are now graded as "requires improvement", with the rest now rated as "good".
Spielman said: "We are increasing this year the number of outstanding we inspect. We are on track to do that.

"Three-quarters of the schools have gone down in their judgement and 30 per cent have gone down not just to good but to requires improvement."
