I am looking to be able to closely track and measure progress for our SEND pupils in a primary school so we can capture the progress they are making has anyone got a way in which they do this in school. They make progress and I want to be able to celebrate that
I wonder if today will be the day that the @NEUnion listen to their members and aggressively go after the elephant in the room right now, and finally eliminate the toxic pressure OFSTED brings. Forget minimum staffing levels, we need action and we need it now!
Petition by @hollysclassroom - “Pause Ofsted inspections and reform how school performance is evaluated” - this is on 27,000, let’s take it further petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6520…
Please like and share ⬇️ #PauseOfsted petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6520…
‘OFSTED have been in today and reduced all the staff to tears. I can’t bear it. I can’t say anything publicly for obvious reasons but I’ve never seen OFSTED from this side. As Governors we were treated with rudeness, shut down and the inspector clearly had an agenda’

I'm a headteacher. A proud headteacher. Of a fabulous school! ....I failed all...ALL... of my GCSEs the first time of asking! It might feel like it for some, but it's not the end of the world! It's just going to be a different path to the one you thought you were on!…
I want to develop a robust curriculum leadership handbook for staff in school has anyone done this or have any suggestions I would really welcome the support and guidance
Well I have never had so many 99 scaled scores this has really impacted on the %s overall. I am disappointed for the children they deserve better. We will look at the scripts now.

Please sign and share. What the last few weeks have clearly shown is the significant impact Ofsted in its current guise is having on schools and staff. We should be accountable but the current framework isn’t working. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6350…
As I keep getting asked: This is the petition you need to sign urgently - Julia Waters has just asked if we could get more to please sign. Retweet, send to all social media sites, whatever you can! Thank you! #ShineOn #EnoughIsEnough #ForRuth petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6350…
Following a meeting of primary headteachers on Tuesday regarding @Ofstednews we issue this follow up statement. We call for urgent reform. The current system is inconsistent, damaging and discriminatory. Please share widely.
Grant an inquiry of the Ofsted inspection at Caversham Primary School - Sign the Petition! chng.it/ktBypCzX via @UKChange
#abolishOfsted @PaulGarvey4 Can we also stop Ofsted Inspectors who also work in MATs carrying out their own mini Ofsteds termly. Coming into schools for a whole week and putting pressure on leaders and staff ahead of when Ofsted is expected. No well-being for leaders
An open letter to @Ofstednews and @educationgovuk: The tragic death of a headteacher underscores the urgent need for change in the inspection system. Action must be taken to address the unsustainable demands placed on school leaders. #ForRuth
Please Rt this. I’d like to get this message to as many school and Trust leaders as I can. School and Trust leaders: STOP INSPECTING!
I’m currently carrying out research & would like your help. It would help to know your thoughts about whether you feel being secondary ready and achieving an expected standard in KS2 SATs are the same or if one is more valuable than the other. Please leave your comments too.
Simply thank you from an exhausted leader
"Many members are telling us that this is the final straw which is leading them to step down from school or college leadership. We simply cannot afford, as a society, to treat leaders & teachers in this way": the full letter from @PaulWhiteman6 and me: buff.ly/3wXIofo.

Good grief, they're not scholars, they're children. Just because we can do something, it doesn't mean that we should. Young children are not mini-adults, we can't complain about children not being "school ready" if we're not giving them what they need when they need it.
what does Ofsted mean when it says that children in the early years can 'sit like a scholar'? what is sitting like a scholar? where can i learn how to sit like a scholar? which 3 year old can teach me how to sit like a scholar?
@RachelWrangham Nothing personal to her, it’s her close ties to OFSTED that are the issue for me
Am trying desperately hard to remain positive/optimistic, but how can a former Ofsted Chief Inspector conduct an ‘independent’ inquiry in to the actions of an institution they once led? An ex-headteacher would never be asked back to review the actions of one of their successors…

So I’ve been a headteacher for 10 years. 10 years in the same school. Still as bothered about the job as I was when I started. It’s been a rollercoaster and a challenge, but more than anything it’s been a total privilege to be the custodian of this school @EastWhitbyPA

Seen this at a school very local to me pupils at risk of failing moved on. Seen the other local schools pick up the pieces. School in question meanwhile gets great results and Ofsted Outstanding while the others are slammed by the same measures. thetimes.co.uk/article/271016…

Thank you @DanielKebedeNEU, we’ve never needed unions to stand up for their members more than now, I hope a joint position/statement from all unions follows. Evidence is indisputable, with more to come from Select Committee. We’ve a duty of a care & a two-week pause isn’t enough.
