@ICT_MrP OFSTED.
Ofsted scares some senior leaders and plays into their insecurities. Those senior leaders adopt a subconscious strategy to bung all the ‘just in case’ holes. That workload gets passed down to teachers. From personal experience, this is magnified by degrees in a MAT.
@amanda_spielman@amymayforrester Mmm. Agreed. Whenever a PEX happens, it is a last resort. And all critics ever say is that PEX does not help the child who has been PEXed. Not true. It enables them to access avenues otherwise closed and it safeguards the education and mental wellbeing of the other children.
@Headteacherchat visit from the LA ‘SATs police’ today. (Everything was fine) - but such a level of unnecessary stress. Every aspect is riddled with subtle accusatory and paranoid undertones. Nothing like feeling trusted in your job….
@CentreLeft_@Tom4EWAS And equally disgusted by the loutish, baiting, bullish, cheapening behaviour of @BBCNews - turning coverage into the lowest gutter press.
