It’s so important to hear from young people directly, take that seriously, and establish schools that work for everyone. Not schools that aim for accountability measures.

What a thread! It is powerful to think that an LA (Cornwall) have surveyed students about their opinions of schools and received 13000 responses. The council has taken this step, despite having no responsibility for schools, but being concerned about the local community bsky.app/profile/warw...

Yes, this is a great example of teenagers telling adults,”Don’t believe what you see online.” Teenagers who are older have read through the fakery and the out of date school names and are not engaging in this nonsense. Sadly younger teenagers and parents (and the media) have been scared.

I like your piece but I think it’s a bit mean about motivation. In my view all OI s including HMCI have a missionary zeal that they are improving schools. The problem is working in a framework and political & regulatory structure, high stakes, that does the opposite.

Jude Enright @judeenright.bsky.social · 28/06/2025
Yes! This! But no one at our (English) inspectorate has ever appreciated this point. And for some reason, our DfE has not understood this either. Since 1992 and launch of Ofsted these two have been blurred though all the evidence shows they are incompatible. I wish they would listen.

Thank you for writing this. We would of course love to shut up about children growing up in poverty. And we would be able to if our government addressed this at scale. But until we do, we need to keep shouting that this is NOT RIGHT and highlighting the impact of austerity on our children.

I agree with Pepe here. For the very long-standing teacher pay system to work, two things must happen: 1. Unions have to accept the amount. 2. Government has to fund it. Anything else is chaos.

2. The assumption that school staff are motivated to improve their practice by Ofsted frameworks. My experience has been that, while Ofsted certainly drives action, it tends to involve lots of evidence gathering to look good, which more often than not gets in the way of meaningful improvement.

1. The assumption that Ofsted can award these grades reliably. There can and should be evidence for this. Where is it? At the very least Ofsted should be investigating it thoroughly before implementation and committing to transparency about what they find in the interests of public scrutiny.
