New year, new classes, new pupils.
One of those pupils will talk about YOU and the impact you’ve had on them for the rest of their lives.

Sunday evening. A very different Sunday from last week. Tired and have 6 weeks to recharge. But some stuff to do next week first. Happy holidays to those who have finished.
Appointing Dame Christine Gilbert as chair of Ofsted - expected to be confirmed later today - an interesting move. Could increase confidence in process and is also a very definite move to shake up thinking at the inspectorate.

Been having an interesting conversation on X earlier with a Rod Mason. Thoughts on the Education stance of Reform as they all over outlets with their ideas this weekend?
The @NEUnion is a part of a coalition of voices from the education sector and beyond calling on @bphillipsonMP to delay Ofsted’s consultation proposals.
It is time for an accountability system that is supportive, effective and fair #AbolishOfstedmirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
This morning Julia Waters - sister of Ruth Perry - has told the BBC the Ofsted plans for report cards are not safe - and still carry the risk of shaming. This is days after a senior Ofsted advisor conceded the proposals were too complex. With union opposition- risks unraveling
It amazes me how many people talk lots about education, tell others how to do education or are even paid to speak about education but haven’t or don’t actually work routinely with kids in schools
