2:31Now PlayingThe single-word grading system used by Ofsted - that ranks schools as either outstanding, good, requiring improvement or inadequate - has been scrapped.
The decision comes after a coroner concluded the grading system contributed to headteacher Ruth Perry's suicide, after she learned her school was being downgraded from "outstanding" to "inadequate."
