The watchdog found that last year 65% of the pupils who had achieved a SAT level 5 in English or Maths did not go on to get at least an A in both subjects at GCSE.
Ofsted's chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw said this morning that his inspectors had found that in many schools "expectations...are far too low" for the most able children.
He also said that having a target of children getting A-C grades at GCSE created "false incentives" that stopped teachers pushing the best students harder.
They don't want an intelligent breed of consumers, do they?
