At a House of Commons public accounts committee (PAC) hearing, Amanda Spielman told MPs that 72 outstanding schools have been inspected this academic year.

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."
