@Headteacherchat As a new Head, I would advise getting a coach & good HR support, aim to communicate as much as poss, keep things moving forward incrementally, hold your moral purpose & it’s ok not to have all the answers.

@MrsSpalding Was hoping to hear additional funding for SEND, offer of support on recruitment & pay, instead longer inspection, no change to assessment, no passion. Didn’t feel reassuring improvement is on horizon.

Disappointing from Shadow Secretary of State, glad to have had the opportunity to listen to her speak nonetheless #ASCL2023

[Vicky Smith @LearningCurve_]

Listening to Labours plan for SEND reform…still waiting for tangible answers beyond more training for staff. Better funding please… #ASCL2023

[Vicky Smith @LearningCurve_]

Report card, longer inspections…Safeguarding, attendance, off rolling frequent and separate? Listening to Labour about plans to change the Ofsted inspectorate #ASCL2023

[Vicky Smith @LearningCurve_]

Listening to the Shadow Secretary for Education #ASCL2023
