Bridget Phillipson said the party would end the system of ¡Èone or two-word¡É school ratings such as ¡ÈÍ¥¤ì¤¿¡É and ¡ÈÉÔ½½Ê¬¤Ê¡É, instead grading schools in a wider ÈÏ°Ï of areas.

There has been ·ã¤·¤¤ Èãɾ of the schools ´Æ»ë¼Ô and its system from education unions and Ms Perry¡Çs family ¤Ë°ú¤­Â³¤¤¤Æ her death.

Speaking at the Times Education ¼óǾ²ñµÄ in London on Thursday, Ms Phillipson said: ¡ÈϫƯ believes in ºº»¡ Àµ³Î¤Ë because we are a party of high and rising ´ð½às in our schools, but if our ¸½ºß¤Î ºº»¡ system is letting them É餫¤¹¡¿·âÄƤ¹¤ë then ϫƯ¡Çs ¸«²ò¡Ê¤ò¤È¤ë¡Ë is simple ? it needs to better.

¡ÈThat is why ϫƯ will change Ofsted for the better. An end to the one or two-word Í×Ìó judgment, a richer scorecard showing where things are ¸¢Íø, ƱÍÍ¤Ë as where things need to be better, and an ǯ¼¡¤Î ºº»¡ of Êݸî¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë¡¿¶ÛµÞÍ¢ÆþÀ©¸Âing ÌäÂ꡿ȯ¹Ô¤¹¤ës.

¡ÈThere are schools that went a £±£°Ç¯´Ö without any ºº»¡ under the ÊݼéŪ¤Ês, and I have two words for that: Í׵᤹¤ës ²þÎÉ.¡É
