A head teachers’ union has lost a bid to bring a High Court legal challenge against Ofsted over the watchdog’s plan to grade schools through report cards.

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), along with head teacher Barbara Middleton, began legal action against Ofsted in May this year, claiming that the body failed to adequately consult on its plans to change the way schools are inspected.
