White working-class children in disadvantaged communities are failing to perform as well as their ethnic-minority classmates because they lack the "drive" of immigrant families to succeed, the Ofsted chief has said.
Amanda Spielman, chief inspector of the education watchdog, hit back at claims that Ofsted's inspectorate gave lower ratings to schools in lower-class communities with a majority of white pupils.
Recent Ofsted
figures show that only four percent of secondary schools with a majority of white pupils received an "outstanding" grade, while almost half got Ofsted's lowest two ratings. By contrast, 29 percent of schools where ethnic minorities were more prevalent were rated as outstanding, while fewer than one-in-five were inadequate.
"We can't pretend that Ofsted judgments are not lower in certain areas - many of them with a high proportion of white working-class children. But that shouldn't surprise us," Spielman said in her keynote
address at the Festival of Education on Thursday.
