My latest column in @SchoolsWeek, arguing that Ofsted's new report card, as is, cannot be reliable. Lots of support coming in from the sector, both privately and publicly. Let's hope @Ofstednews "big listen" is more than a slogan.
'The inspectorate is caught between the political rock of a manifesto commitment and the psychometric hard place of inspection validity'
How many times should Ofsted 'rethink' a bad idea?
Its current proposals are ill-conceived - but so is the very idea of more data for school accountability

When all the world had five-membered grading systems, @Ofstednews fought fiercely for education to have just four. The Self-Review Framework was forced to build around four, for example
Now they finally switch to a five, but still contrive to get it wrong!

Ok so here’s a suggestion, after the 1st week of December how about no Ofsted inspections in primary schools so freeing up inspectors to provide a pool of absolutely expert cover for sickness to maintain great teaching throughout the term? #ofsted #ofstednews #schools #education

Our report follows a study published by @Ofstednews revealing that children as young as 11 years old were found to be carrying knives for protection and highlighting the links between the increase in violence and exploitation of children in “county lines” run by criminal gangs.

We’ve already got schools, after a totally subjective @Ofstednews result, buying banners saying ‘good in all areas’ (and stop it, don’t do it.)
What will it be in report card times?
Proudly Peach!
Green in all areas!
Robustly Not Red!
Yellow again!
We are a Mauve school!
Endless possibilities! 😀

I agree. I can’t see anything changing, if these leaks are to be believed. Same old @Ofstednews. No reform. No lessons learned from poor Ruth Perry’s death.

Ofsted framework leaks:
Schools should be concerned. Schools should be very concerned! @Ofstednews @dan_ofsted @martyneoliver @Rory_Gribbell - what the hell are you doing?? And @bphillipsonMP, time to think again. It’s not what anyone outside of Ofsted’s wants. ☹️
My DMs are open for more leaks!

It’s the time frame and the lack of incentive for Ofsted to think this through.
To recreate Ofsted’s approach in one term is too much, so @Ofstednews have reverted to type. No change.
We’re going to inspect and grade. Bugger what everyone else wants. And we’ll inspect just what we want to inspect.
