Ensure the same expectations of young people in relation to leadership skills.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

In the OfSTED Framework there is no specific reference to leadership and leadership of learning, as opposed to the Independent School Framework for Inspection which expects ALL young people to develop those skills. We want equality of expectation from the OfSTED Framework for ALL young people.
Child poverty is at its highest in the North East. A lot of talented young people in State Schools are not developing their full potential, because the OfSTED Framework does nor require it of them, unlike the ISI Framework for Inspection.
The potential impact on democracy and all state educated young people in the country is clear. The North East needs more skilled leaders to end child poverty. ALL young people need opportunities to develop leadership skills and leadership of learning.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a matter of Ofsted.

You could start a petition calling for leadership to be included in the National Curriciulum, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
