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." 🐔

This is fascinating! And in the spirit of the recent International Women’s’ Day, brilliant to see this very technical session being presented by three amazing women. #ASCL2025
Delighted to welcome Anu Manthri, Grace Kelly, and Fiona Law of one of our main event sponsors #GoogleforEducation to #ASCL2025 who are looking at what #SEND and #sustainability might look like in the future, as well as the skills we'll need in education.

Agree, this was good to hear.
Really welcome recognition from the Secretary of State that many of the challenges schools are currently facing can't be fixed within schools themselves, but need wider system reform. #ASCL2025

Very impressive band!
Many thanks to the hugely talented jazz band of Tytherington School in Macclesfield who have entertained delegates at #ASCL2025 with sublimely smooth and soulful performances, both on stage and as delegates break for refreshments.

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…

Ofsted chief: No inspection grades wouldn't be 'right' or 'fair'

Fascinating analysis, as ever, from @fftedudatalab.bsky.social
How attainment gaps between different groups of pupils change from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4.
- The Age Effect reduces over time, but is present throughout.
- The disadvantage gap widens over time
