Time to #PauseOfsted? #HTRT2020

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

Time to Stop Curriculum Shallowing?

The issue of curriculum narrowing is frequently used within education circles as a pejorative term.  What is less prevalent is balance within the debate; the calling out of the shallowing of the curriculum – the partner of breadth – as a curriculum reality.  It is an eternal tension and dilemma; time is finite.

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.
