Day two of #ASCL2025 conference here in Liverpool and @pepediiasio.bsky.social draws laughs from crowd re: Ofsted. He says the last thing edu needs is an inspection system that “intensifies pressures." "It’s a far cry from the Nando’s-style five-point scale Ofsted is proposing." 🐔

An uncomfortable moment for Ofsted chief Sir Martyn Oliver today at #ASCL2025: He was met with laughs from the crowd after he told delegates that “I don’t want you to be doing anything ‘for Ofsted’”. Seems school leaders disagree… www.tes.com/magazine/new...

If you haven’t watched Freddie Flintoff’s ‘Field of Dreams On Tour’ yet, catch up on IPlayer. It demonstrates that it’s not enough to just give a disadvantaged young person an opportunity and leave them to it, you also need to support them with what to do with it. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
