Headteachers in England are threatening to ballot for strike action after declaring they have lost confidence in Ofsted, the schools inspectorate. The warning signals a serious escalation in long-running disputes over school inspections and the regulator's methods, and is expected to put pressure on the government to address inspection practices.

Why now: The threat of industrial action by headteachers against the schools regulator is a significant escalation in a high-profile education dispute.
