I think Ofsted are mistaking causation for correlation. Whilst low expectations will cause lower than average outcomes, not all those schools with lower than average outcomes have low expectations. Maybe it would help if you recognised this distinction.

It always amazes me that a core lesson of the history of science—that ‘science’ isn’t a fixed term or thing—is one that do many people still seem to find so upsetting.

Abstract Illusions of Understanding in the Sciences raises a concern: Scientists frequently overestimate what they understand about the systems they study. This overestimation is said to potentially distort inference, encourage premature theoretical closure, and undermine public trust in science. We argue that the article fails to distinguish between remediable problems, structural challenges, and genuine cognitive limitations; mistakes individual limitations for system-wide epistemic failures; and treats idealization and pluralism as epistemic concessions rather than constitutive features of scientific endeavor.We believe that the unified ‘illusion’ pathology does not successfully accommodate the organized, socially distributed nature of scientific endeavor

"Against The Pathologization Of Scientific Understanding"
