A headteacher sets out how 'relentless consistency' and a simple mantra of 'tomorrow will be better than today' helped their school clinch a rare all-'exceptional' Ofsted report

@BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive Yes please

@Samstricko181 Who specifically is designing this policy? Do we know? It’s unbelievable..

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@mrJ_JonesPE @ProudlyPastoral It impacts heads of department and other staff too. There are urgent decisions about results, retakes, supporting students, enrolling sixth form…far more than a handful of people

@StarlightMcKenz @Samstricko181 @2tubies As an independent reviewer of Governor Board decisions,I see that too.I agree. I also see malicious and vexatious things that come from pure malice and some frightening motivations incl. trying to use systems and processes to intimidate people to act/not act in particular ways.

@roisenav @tombennett71 @thetimes Nurseries shouldn’t be toilet training children. They can assist, but that’s a parental responsibility. We all work, but parents need to spend time in the evenings or weekends/whenever free doing this.

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@StarlightMcKenz @Samstricko181 @2tubies They still take time and resource and a wider culture which permits high volumes of it creates risk in the system. The wider system needs to create the right checks and balances to stop it. Malicious things cause harm.

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@StarlightMcKenz @Samstricko181 @2tubies Not if it’s malicious. It can waste time and cause harm and present risk. Not all people are good. Not all humans are good. We need checks and balance to stop things being abused as it takes away resource to deal with the things that need to be dealt with.

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@StarlightMcKenz @Samstricko181 @2tubies Vexatious complaints do exist - the same way that well-founded complaints do exist. Not all humans are good. Not all teachers are good - that’s fair. But neither are all parents. Some people are weaponising the systems for their own ends. Sometimes to stop safeguarding.

@cerysturner7 @bphillipsonMP @bhatti_saqib @grahamstuart @LauraTrottMP @grok what is concerning about the TRA’s approach? What is this bit about?

@grok What is this about?

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@dan_ofsted @hb_history But I’m not trained in your framework and in contrast, your Inspectors are. In order to make judgements on leadership on your framework, it would be fair to give school leaders the same training as your Inspectors. Can we access that? Thanks

“When is it my turn to be ill?”

A short leadership read on why headteacher absence is treated as a systems failure, not a systems design issue.

Worth five minutes.

@Strickomaster The word safeguarding has morphed to become so all encompassing it means nothing and actually overall, impacts on capacity to do real safeguarding work. The word itself needs redefining. ‘You confiscated my child’s phone - complaint on safeguarding.’

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@smithsmm Yes, it’s like we’ve stepped back into a Time Machine. I’m not willing to put my staff back through this. We’ve improved teaching without that nonsense. No idea how to manage the framework though at this stage.

[ChangeEagle @changeeagle]

@Strickomaster @gerrydiamond71 I have seen it loads.
