We welcome today’s Department for Education announcement about removing single word judgements in Ofsted. Our CofE Education #SIAMS framework has already made that change and has shown that compassionate accountability can coexist with rigorous standards.

Can't we just sort the Premier League on passing accuracy percentages? Surely it's more important than who wins the games? #saintsfc

It was great to hear from the big thinkers Confederation of School Trusts but more than ever the spark was in the connection with friends and colleagues who stay restless in their pursuit of better and are determined to be the change. As the teenage Tinklers would say ‘it’s time to lock in!’

Putting aside personal disappointment with this outcome, reducing choice at a time when the sector needs empowering leadership, diverse thinking and locally responsive options seems an unnecessarily backwards step. Thank you Sam for articulating this so effectively! 🔥 👇👇👇

This will be my last post on X. Hopefully this is an apt one to end on. Will choose to remember the great connections and friends I've made on here and the posts, blogs and articles that have challenged me and shaped my thinking. But it's time to move on me thinks!
