@stokecity That’s 3 managers in 2 seasons. Just didn’t expect those 2 seasons to be Autumn and Winter.

@sciantificnew @ShakinthatChalk @Rory_Gribbell Speaking of being blocked! 😂😂😂

@PaulGarvey4 @ShakinthatChalk @Rory_Gribbell I don’t think TR hides his views from anyone. If you think TTR is right wing, that’s your prerogative of course. I disagree. There’s a range of views and plenty of people within TTR and guests on shows that I have disagreed with. People have a right to their own views though.

If anyone is brave enough to come on and make a case FOR the new framework I’d be very happy to hear from you. DM or reply. I’ve tried, but so far no one is keen! I want a balanced debate as far as possible. But the frustration in our profession simply can’t be ignored!

MARK CHAMBERLAIN 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 8 caps and scored 1 goal for England between 1982 and 1984

Dalian Atkinson would have been 58 today. Gone far too soon, but some memories will last a lifetime. I’ll never tire of watching this goal. What a moment in time...

@sciantificnew I might just do that! 😆🫣

@OrbsSCFC I totally understand. Thanks anyway. You can always watch the show and comment live! 😇 I get the feeling the new framework won’t come out of it too well 😅

This is a hill I’ll die on. Percentage FSM does not tell the full contextual story of schools. Telling a school they have to improve outcomes for PP is futile when the school can’t manage to put a permanent teacher in every classroom.

@sciantificnew Thanks Tony I appreciate that but I’m a shrinking violet at heart! Happy to talk about things on here though. Definitely food for thought 😊👍🏻👍🏻

@OrbsSCFC It is. If you want to come on my show next Wednesday at 6pm and talk about it you’d be very welcome. Sounds like you could bring some balance and insight?

@jslovechild Surpies Surpies!

Step inside, love

@sciantificnew Regardless of the context. It’s a really interesting conversation.

@sciantificnew That’s interesting as let’s say the IDSR shows a declining picture over 3 years (primary) and the books back this up in terms of really poor writing and maths then that to me would be extra evidence that backs up the poor IDSR and that achievement needs attention.

@sciantificnew Yes that’s true - the achievement grade isn’t solely based on the IDSR though as work in current books/current standards are taken into account too - not only the IDSR. This example is really interesting as achievement is NA but C&T and Inclusion are both strong.

@OrbsSCFC Point taken over the ‘generally’ caveat. But the achievement part of the toolkit does mention national averages and examinations being in line them though. Which will surely hit disadvantaged schools more?

@sciantificnew Yep - just looking at these posts that are linking NA achievement with areas of high disadvantage without (as far as I can see) stating what the C+T grade is. A secure fit for expected does have language of ‘generally’ ‘typically’ etc and so expected does not have to be perfect.

@OrbsSCFC Fundamentally I don’t think OFSTED should look at achievement at all as it’s too contextual to ever be equitable. But yes, assuming there is confidence in the gradings then I’d find that easier to accept. (Not convinced yet though as I think the secure fit is too prescriptive).

@kable54 @FootballInT80s Yes Darren is Joe’s dad. Darren played in goal for Halifax Town and his dad played in goal for Leicester City - George I think.

@FootballInT80s Joes dad is called Darren & he was a goalkeeper. Connected to Derby & Forest here in the Midlands.

1982 and a packed Wembley Stadium turned out to watch England Schoolboys draw 0-0 with Scotland Schoolboys.

@sciantificnew No worries Tony! It’s not particularly straightforward 😆

Turns out I am wrong. Thanks to @OrbsSCFC for pointing this out 👍

@sciantificnew No because at a monitoring visit grades aren’t awarded. They only get awarded if the monitoring visit is deemed to be a full inspection - at that point if nothing is urgent improvement the school comes out of the category. Grades could be NA or expected or strong or exceptional

@sciantificnew #monitoring-inspections-of-schools-in-a-category-of-concern" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/government/pub… here - like before when everything could be RI and so the category would be removed - everything didn’t have to be ‘Good’

Depressing week in UK politics but Viz Magazine's finest letter never fails to raise a smile

@ChristinaLivsy I’m surprised this took you so long! 😆 let’s hope for a top half finish for us both. There’s always next season 🫣 oh and a red?!

@OrbsSCFC Could have gone either way tbh, certainly at 5 minutes in? 🤨🤷🏼‍♀️ Best of luck for the rest of the season and don’t know if you can pull any strings but can we play you again next week!! 😉😬

@ChristinaLivsy Ready for the battle for 14th?! What went wrong?! 😆😆😆
