Sir Martyn thought he was visiting Great Smith Street to wish Bridget Phillipson well in her new position. The Secretary of State seems more focussed on the task of reforming Ofsted than an endorsement from its leader. "There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind."

This is absolute tripe. Has to be one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read on Ofsted. Single word judgments provide 'a gateway for schools to step forward'? Oh please...

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

The education secretary has said it will be 'hard to guarantee' that government would fully fund the next teacher pay rise, despite schools struggling with budget squeezes

[Simon Kidwell @simonkidwell]

Single word reductive Ofsted judgments are contributing to a recruitment & retention crisis and driving poor mental health outcomes for staff.
Regrettably, they are used by the current Government to crudely categorize schools, which is why there is little appetite for reform.

[Edmund Barnett-Ward @Edmund_B_W]

The Coroner at the inquest into my sister Ruth’s death warned that there is a risk of future deaths if there is only lip service paid to learning from such tragedies.

The government has responded to an inquiry by an all party group of MPs https://t.co/3pDImkgay4

[This Woman Runs @thismumruns]

FIFTY NINE HOURS
FIFTY EIGHT MINUTES
21 SECONDS

History made.

IMHO bigger than;

The 4 minute mile
The 9.58s 100m
The 2.00.35 marathon

I cannot believe how fortunate I feel to have witnessed one of the greatest days in ultra running history firsthand today.

School culture is not created by a laminated vision statement, a slogan or even policies, but it is created by what everyone does everyday.
