endorsement (100% on ParentView!), how our team engaged, and the supportive fashion in which @edubizz led the inspection. Can't wait until the official letter is published!

[Jen Edwards @jenedwards72]

Two of the schools I work with had @Ofstednews visits this week. Both were sensitive and supportive. Leaders welcomed the opportunity to share their journey and felt sincerely listened to.

OFSTED monitoring visit with the very supportive Jen and Stewart today. An absolute pleasure to encapsulate all we have done to support pupils and the community during COVID-19. Go Willowdown! @Ofstednews @WillowdownPri

@Steelel24Steele We’re missing your sage advice, Linda! West Sussex have appointed a social worker of the highest quality. Good luck!

Thanks, Gary. You It was great to be with you and hear about the work you’ve done at Sir Bernard Lovell throughout the pandemic. We really enjoyed the professional discussion.

[Gary Schlick @GarySchlick1]

Thanks to @Ofstednews @BSimmons_SW for visiting @SBLAcademy @WellswayMat yesterday. Good to discuss the work behind the 96% pupil attendance and full curriculum that is in operation. We'd be delighted to welcome you back in January for a full visit.

Fantastic show for all out social workers, teachers, NHS staff and so many more people - you are all fabulous - thank you so much

[Bradley Simmons @BSimmons_SW]

And thank you to all those inspectors still working in the field, as well as those starting redeployment roles in local authorities, working with schools and volunteering to be foster caters. All part of the fantastic efforts made by so many groups of workers at this time.

[Marie Tucker @CICADAServices]

@YvetteStanley18 @BSimmons_SW I have witnessed some brilliant work by an OFSTED inspector in the South West. They enabled a new home to be registered in a very challenging situation to facilitate an unavoidable move for some young people. 👏👏👏Have emailed you both details :)

As we reach the Bank Holiday weekend my #FridayThanks go to everyone caring for #vulnerable adults & #Children during #covid19UK #SocialCare #education #earlyyears 💜🌈

[Andrew Cook @AndrewCookHMI]

With our routine inspections suspended, we’ve been matching our staff into supporting roles across education and social care, working closely with local councils to provide support where it’s most needed.

And with this glorious moment, the circle of life is complete.

Our friends at the real place, Florence, Oregon, have seen our tweets.
