Well, I wish there could have been more sector involvement in determining the reforms, but I cannot pretend, after the week just passed, that it isn't a blessed relief to hear Ofsted reform being championed.

‘The Alternative Big Listen’ asks all the questions the government didn’t want Ofsted to ask. If you are in education, if you have children in education, if you work in education, PLEASE fill out this survey: thealternativebiglisten.co.uk
Launching today – 'The Alternative Big Listen'! While Ofsted's survey is flawed, lacking in important questions and poorly worded, I nevertheless encourage everyone to engage with the endeavour…
Please make sure you take 15 minutes to complete this" thealternativebiglisten.co.uk
It took some deep soul searching but proud to have launched thealternativebiglisten.co.uk today. A chance for a broader view of inspection and one that has the support of many educationalists. Proud that Prof Julia Waters supports it.
Tory MP tells local paper he is "deeply troubled" about findings of a survey of 566 parents about education provision at town's two secondaries, run by Astrea Academy Trust. Seems to be calling for at least one to be allowed to leave the trust. huntspost.co.uk/news/24286563.…
Felt like a dam broke today as callers responded to news of Brexit-related food price rises by expressing regret for their 2016 vote. Always important to show compassion to well-meaning people who swallow lies & nonsense served up by liars & charlatans. globalplayer.com/podcasts/episo…
Before it went bankrupt Nottingham City Council had its funding cut by £100m a year since 2010. It was nearly £1.5bn per year below 2010. A total of £10bn. The Conservatives have stolen the same from almost every council. But what have they done with the stolen £200bn? #PMQs
A backward step. All sorts of problems with this and labour should reintroduce this immediately. theguardian.com/education/2024…

@Ofstednews Not the experience of so many small schools. You created a secondary, subject-based framework that doesn’t fit small schools then penalised them for not living up to it. Look at your own stats. That’s what’s happened. Too many small schools RI or Inadequate, Grossly unfair.

Well, I wish there could have been more sector involvement in determining the reforms, but I cannot pretend, after the week just passed, that it isn't a blessed relief to hear Ofsted reform being championed.
Ofsted must be reformed. Parents know it, school staff know it, Labour knows it. A Labour government would end headline grades and introduce new report cards. When will the Tories finally follow Labour’s lead in the interest of parents, pupils and staff?
I’m ashamed of this
BREAKING: The first people set to be removed to Rwanda have been detained.
Watched a brilliant reading lesson today, the teacher didn’t tell the children, there was an amazing discussion about interpretation of the book. Children supported their interpretation with evidence,there was challenge It was rich and deep, we all understood the book better
‘The Alternative Big Listen’ asks all the questions the government didn’t want Ofsted to ask. If you are in education, if you have children in education, if you work in education, PLEASE fill out this survey: thealternativebiglisten.co.uk
Launching today – 'The Alternative Big Listen'! While Ofsted's survey is flawed, lacking in important questions and poorly worded, I nevertheless encourage everyone to engage with the endeavour…
Astrea’s teaching and behaviour policies are distinctive. In its advert for the exec head post, it cites Doug Lemov's Teach Like a Champion and the DfE behaviour adviser Tom Bennett as influences.
Mr Browne is to talk to the DfE, seemingly about at least one of the St Neots schools leaving Astrea.
That survey of 566 parents had found 92% were not confident at all or not very confident in the trust’s leadership, while 79 per cent of respondents said the schools’ behaviour policies were “too strict”.
As I tweeted earlier, yesterday the Hunts Post quoted concerns by the local Conservative MP, Anthony Browne, about findings of a survey of parents about provision at Astrea’s two secondaries in St Neots.huntspost.co.uk/news/24286563.…
It is hard to see how a structure of four levels of management, above school-level headteachers, does not add to management costs in this MAT structure, compared to the local authority (local management of schools) set-up.
While it is hard to be definitive about the reason for spending decisions, this will intensify questions over centralisation of spending at MAT level.
At the school in question, St Ivo, that translated to a 41 per cent reduction in departmental resources budgets for those 18 subject headings earmarked for cuts.
Meanwhile, email sent to staff at one of Astrea’s schools says its academies are being asked to find savings in classroom resources, as part of drive “to reduce non-staff costs by 25% across the board”.
Astrea advertising for new exec head, on up to £133,677 a year, reporting to regional secondary director, with director of secondary ed, then CEO, the top rungs in this structure.
The trust, which has eight secondary schools and 18 primaries and overall had 10 people paid six figures in 22-23, was also advertising for a director of curriculum last year, on up to £100k.
A reporter asked me recently what I thought of Ofsted's Big Listen? 'It sort of asked whether cars should drive on one side of the road when it ought to be asking whether too many drivers are driving too fast?'
@warwickmansell Menstrual shaming sadly alive and well in our secondary. The girls are not allowed toilet breaks even in an emergency and have to explain to the whole class. Then often not allowed to go anyway. Yanked out of toilets during breaks by enforcement teams. It's really bad.
In March 2023, parents at St Ivo Academy, part of Astrea Academy Trust, mentioned this in a complaint to the DfE. DfE's Regional Schools Commissioner took 5.5 months to respond. On toilets, and much else, he said there was little he could do.
