The current system is clearly broken. Now is the moment for a genuinely new approach that gives parents the detailed information they need and addresses the hugely harmful impact inspection currently has on school staff. 🔗Full report: naht.org.uk/ofsted

Reports that the inspectorate might retain graded ‘key sub-judgements’ met strong opposition, with three quarters (75%) of school leaders believing this is the wrong course of action.

More than three quarters (76%) of school leaders believe a completely new framework and inspection methodology is needed, rejecting Ofsted’s plans to simply ‘evolve’ the current inspection system.

Today we have released new data showing that more than nine in 10 (93%) school leaders do not have confidence in Ofsted to design an effective new inspection framework. 🔗Full report: naht.org.uk/ofsted

Right: off to chainsaw that tree in the garden, assess the damage and do what repairs I need to. I'll update here with a limb check when I have finished...

"Now I have a machine gun, ho ho ho!" "Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except..." "It's Christmas Theo, it's the time of miracles, so be of good cheer...." Couldn't be more festive unless John McClane was a snowman.

I am sure you are, one lesson at a time. One conversation at a time. Be patient, have faith. I certainly have time when nothing seems to work, but in my experience - all it takes is time to be able to see the good you are doing.

I'd worry someone else wouldn't give as much as I do, so I keep on going. Tiring, at times upsetting, downs as well as ups - but the overall direction of travel is positive over time.
