Ofsted judging teachers? Here we go again... The news that Ofsted is proposing inspecting teaching as a standalone category is unwelcome in the sector, and for very good reason, argues Zoe Enser

β€˜Making a judgement on individual teacher quality has come to be known as a bit of a fool’s errand’

Ofsted must implement an independent complaints process with the authority to change judgments, rather than merely rerun inspections (currently the best outcome a school can hope for). School intervention should be driven by support and improvement, not academization…

Maybe rather than trying to put a system and a curriculum onto everyone we need to start by asking what the actual children in front of us need? That's kind of how it works in #EYFS. Difficult to do at scale though so I'm not sure what the wider answer is.

This looks really interesting. I hope you feel inspired today. Keep up the good work.

Slimming down the maths curriculum would be a huge help and cutting out unnecessary grammar would really help.
