Accountability

For Parents’ and Pupils’ Sake #PauseOfsted

Imagine you’re from a family that eternally struggles to make ends meet.  It’s been the same for generations; your family is trapped in deep, long term poverty.  You’ve just received another Ofsted report from the school – the one you attended and your children attend – it requires improvement or has been dismissed yet again as inadequate.

Time to #PauseOfsted? #HTRT2020

This is my opening speech at the Headteacher’s Roundtable Summit 2020:

It helps every now and again to step back and take a long view. 

Time to Find and Compare Schools – Start Now

As the festive cheer begins to fade, schools start up again this month.  Staff and pupils arriving in the dark and often going home in it as well.  Following Christmas, the January pay day can seem a long, long way away.  But, it isn’t all doom and gloom; schools can look forward to the annual performance tables later this month.
