@Ofstednews @martyneoliver @LeoraCruddas @CSTvoice I am afraid the last couple of years has shown that @Ofstednews and @martyneoliver are not interested in reform or care about school leaders. They have learnt nothing.

[Edmund Barnett-Ward @Edmund_B_W]

Ofsted has demonstrably caused harm. It promised change while harm continued. It declared itself changed while harm continued. Now its leadership congratulates itself on being on the ‘right track’. To where, exactly? How much more harm can they be allowed to do…

[Dave McPartlin @dave_mcpartlin]

Please have a read and listen to our profession @andyburnham - we're not afraid of accountability, but it shouldn't be like this.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Reform UK has its own dedicated television station, favourable coverage from the BBC, the Telegraph and the Daily Mail, a readiness to appeal to racists and £70m in the bank. Doesn't look much like a 'level playing field' to me.

[Edmund Barnett-Ward @Edmund_B_W]

Lee is always so eloquent and highlights, again, Ofsted's inability to move beyond the false binary that trades teacher wellbeing against school accountability. We need a more humane system, or at the very least one that can be independently challenged.

[University of Winchester @_UoW]

Initial Teacher Education (ITE) @_UoW has received a glowing report from Ofsted. Under its new framework Ofsted rated areas ‘Exceptional’ making it among the very best nationally. Read more here https://t.co/cCa0bEC1F7

@AdamBlackmore If we get less than 30M up front then Spors has got it very wrong. Need to recruit and quickly.

[Edmund Barnett-Ward @Edmund_B_W]

Three and a half years after Ruth Perry died, the question is no longer how much harm an effective accountability system is entitled to cause.
It is why, knowing what we now know, we are still using one that causes it.

[Edmund Barnett-Ward @Edmund_B_W]

Before a single question was asked, Oliver established the frame:

Children’s safety
versus
headteacher wellbeing.

Once you accept that framing, every criticism of Ofsted becomes an argument about where to strike the “balance”.
But it is a false binary…

Another amazing holiday in Dalyan. 🇹🇷❤️

Turtles, ice-cold Efes, stunning scenery, fantastic food, and precious time making memories with the grandchildren. It’s a place that keeps drawing us back.

Until next time, Dalyan. 👋☀️

#Dalyan #Turkey

[Tim Deery @TimD366]

@Southgloshead I love Dalyan - in fact there at the moment!

[Tim Deery @TimD366]

@jezzytgl @The_Cruise_Life Negroni or old fashioned 😁

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

"I said it's a bold move by Reform to use the Navy to return migrants. What did I say Roy?"
"You said it's an unworkable load of bollocks designed to win back some racist numbskulls from Rupert Lowe and distract attention from Farage's £5m bung"

[Nick Morrison @nsdmorrison]

Michael Gove caused enormous damage to the education of millions of children, but it was through ignorance rather than malice. And, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, the tragedy for him is that he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Let me say this very directly.

Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.

The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.

Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

[Tim Deery @TimD366]

@jezzytgl @Ofstednews @bphillipsonMP @andyburnham It must be almost impossible for the inspectors to make a real judgement.

[Tim Deery @TimD366]

Today a HT friend, who is retiring, got the call today from @Ofstednews
This is totally unacceptable during the last week of term and demonstrates that OfSTED are completely out of touch. It is time to scrap OfSTED and start again. @bphillipsonMP @andyburnham

[Edmund Barnett-Ward @Edmund_B_W]

Lee, once again, reflects the views of the profession and asks the question we're all asking: how many more times is this going to happen?

[Mr Teece @MrTeece_]

No doubt OFSTED will once again distance itself, claim it's a force for good and this isn't their making. How many educators do we need to lose before we change the system we have. The big fake listen did nothing.
