We looked at 3,000 inspection reports and found that Ofsted systematically make negative comments about the speech of racialised and working class children, and these perceptions of speech are associated with bad behaviour, intellectual inferiority, and an unwillingness to learn.

‘We need to stop pretending the attainment gap can be closed by schools and not continue with a confidence trick that there is a school-shaped solution to our lack of social mobility,’ writes former head Sir Alasdair Macdonald

‘When it was later established that the woman had paid her fare, she was de-arrested and allowed to go on her way’

@metpoliceuk is this really how you build our confidence in you? How do you think that little boy is going to remember you?

Question for the day. Please only answer if you ARE NOT in education but have children in school.

What do you see or know to be the pros or cons of @Ofstednews ?

I want to know what parents really think about Ofted & if they understand its impact.

Please RT this far & wide!

@neilbowen3 @MrsSpalding Shame it’s not ‘pump’ you could have this as the motivational theme tune…

[Alison Fletcher @aj3fletcher]

Thanks to our exceptionally brilliant #CLFConference team for delivering a great conference event! 😍

[Annie Apple @Letterland123]

@aj3fletcher Thank you to everyone who was involved in the brilliant CLF summer conference - it was great CPD and also lovely to see so many friends and colleagues from the trust.

Headteachers are leaving schools. How can we retain them? https://t.co/Umd1ax7vSM

[Annie Apple @Letterland123]

@Penny_Ten Be more flexible with job shares - so leaders don’t have to work in isolation & can offer support to each other. Reduce the high stakes judgment & create a system with accountability that also offers development/assistance. Provide adequate funding so schools can meet needs.
