Ofsted hits the snooze button… but only for a bit.

Birmingham City Council (BCC) Cabinet met on 15 October 2024 and approved proposals for the alternative provision of HR, Payroll and Pensions services to schools following the decision that the Oracle system would not be reimplemented. (Continued Below...)

Given the obvious uncertainty in planning finances and resources, drb SAS will be offering an alternative and cost-effective support package, (including transition to Full Cheque Book Status) delivered by a team of professional and experienced consultants.

Building a better Ofsted: the response to the Big Listen - https://t.co/1LULthB2Gw (https://t.co/SFjPwmiIjk)
In this, we find out that Ofsted will inform schools by Monday afternoon if they are to be inspected that week. We think this is positive.

[drbSAS @drbSAS]

This would be a great job for someone, one of our lovely Birmingham schools:
