New Visions for Education Group

Education policy pressure group which includes senior academics, administrators, headteachers. parents, school governors, campaigners and teachers' leaders.

[Baroness Mary Bousted @MaryWBousted]

I don’t think that this has ever been better put. It goes to the heart of the matter. Ofsted has no evidence that its judgements are consistent, reliable or valid. Operating on a budget that has declined significantly, the problem of the quality of its judgements is compounded.

@insiderjon @warwickmansell Don't miss this brilliant analysis

[Robin Head @Robin_Neu2]

@NV4Ed @NewStatesman @AmandaMartinMP @CommonsEd A wonderful assessment of the Tories Emperor's new clothes approach to the marketisation of children's education in the UK.

[Robin Head @Robin_Neu2]

At last some clarity of objective thinking from an educationalist. More of this please and less Tory tears over their failed free marketisation of schooling.

A v good piece, challenging the lazy thinking in the media & beyond about the 'successes' of the Tory govt. It supports Labour's planned changes to policy on academies & explains that the majority of Headteachers, incl in academies, agree. https://t.co/gcTOzPSa8A @NewStatesman

I’d like to see more news/media reporting like this, that includes current & ex-Headteachers like Alasdair MacDonald, @HeadsRoundtable Heads, to offer other perspectives & arguments i.e. proper journalism that asks serious questions rather than just amplifying a few loud voices.

The media furore around the Schools Bill has obscured Labour’s ambition to ensure every child, whichever type of school they attend, has the best start in life.

“Labour’s proposed changes to academies have been labelled an ‘act of vandalism’ that will ‘destroy our schools’. This hyperbolic response has been repeated so often that it is in danger of reshaping reality.”

[Colin Richards @colinsparkbridg]

The fact that these pilots are being conducted while the latest consultation takes place implies that Ofsted does not see any major changes being introduced as a result of that "consultation". Better to postpone the introduction till 2026.

Exclusive: Church schools lead stampede to academy status ahead of deadline

Some 206 applications for academy conversions received last month, as £25k DfE grant ended.
