What is 'inclusion by design'?

Why is it key to the broader definition of inclusion Ofsted will be using in its new inspections?

How can you make it work in your school?

@alexjquigley.bsky.social offers his take below.

Inclusion ‘by design’: why it matters and how to do it
With the new Ofsted framework taking a broad view of inclusion, it's even more important to make teaching inclusive 'by design' and not by accident, suggests Alex Quigley

Omg, this makes me cringe so badly! How very dare they?! So, so disrespectful
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

Reading is crucial, but ultimately vocabulary and comp are massive and if kids go to secondary and they don’t understand what they have to read in all subjects it’s really tough. @alexjquigley.bsky.social made me think more about this than anyone, read his stuff and % and pass marks are irrelevant
Heard HT today say 80% of their Y6 left passing the reading SAT and how amazing this was and how proud they were. It is good, but we had 90%. It’s the 10% that worry me the most, plus the 15% who just passed. Reading is key and we should all be worried about it for the next step regardless of any %

Ok, making the move. Looks like Twitter, but hopefully doesn’t sound like Twitter?! (I know it’s X, but it will always be Twitter to me)
