The whole nonsense of inspection needs ripping down. Emperor’s New Clothes. It’s all horseshit - reaching valid/reliable high stakes judgements about a school based on a short visit by strangers who couldn’t do a better job but presume to judge. What a job .. demoralise a community of professionals with zero responsibility for the fallout and then leave, spouting crap about being champions of disadvantaged children. The delusion of it. 😡

The genius of school financial forecasting... Allowed to assume funding increase of 2.6% teachers pay rise for next year. Followed by assumptions of 0% ad infinitum. That'll sort the deficit out.

🚨 New Job Alert 🚨 Applications have opened for His Majesty’s Inspectors (schools). I’ve been an HMI for 10 years and it has changed my understanding of the education landscape beyond recognition. I have benefited from working with colleagues with an enormous range of experience. This doesn’t end with schools. I get to work alongside EY, FES and social care colleagues who challenge and extend my understanding every day. The extent of our regulatory and inspection work means we have an extensive and comprehensive understanding of all of the services that care for and educate children, from cradle to career. The work is interesting. No week is the same because no school is the same. I’ve been privileged to visit and work in a wide range of settings and see first hand the incredible work going on in the sector. Like teaching, working with children is never dull or predictable, so you need to adaptable. Equally, the people who we meet need our emotional intelligence and approach to be top notch at all times. Courtesy, empathy and respect aren’t buzzwords. They are what we expect of each other and ourselves. This means you can expect a workplace that values you and cherishes interactions between colleagues, exactly as we would expect of inspectors when we visit a setting. If you have: - great people skills and can adapt your approach accordingly - a proven track record of leading schools - an understanding that there are different ways of doing things - a passion for decisions made in children’s best interests… then I’d encourage you, without reservation, to take a look at the link below. As always, DMs are open for a chat - and there’s no such thing as a silly question. Professionally and personally, this is an important decision, so ask away. civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?…

Just went to the pub and curry house with two headteachers. Don't worry, we've got this whole Ofsted, SEND and school improvement thing sorted.

I know it's Christmas Day but I really think we should still be talking about the validity of safeguarding reviews.

I'm thinking of making my Powerpoint slide-decks publicly available, though I am not sure when I should do this: during the holidays, at the beginning of next term, or later, once people have got back to work? What would you prefer:

All I need now is some mistimed useless info from the DfE and this will feel like the old times again.
