This week the chat tries not get in a tail spin over a variety of Ofsted issues. Meena Wood is a former HMI, Principal, local authority adviser, author and public speaker and a strong critic of the current inspection arrangements. During the chat she explains how differently other countries inspect their schools and wonders why there is not a greater focus on this. Stan considers why Maintained Nurseries achieve such a high Ofsted outcome compared to other phases. The comments made by HMCI on Women's Hour about the social contract between school and parents/carers, Caversham PS and the general sense that 'It's not me, it's you' (the current Schools Week headline) are considered. The chat ends positively and we hope it is helpful and informative. Please tell us it is isn't. We need to know.
Point of correction. In the video Meena suggests HMCI is a Civil Servant. This is correct but she is appointed by the King she can only be dismissed by him.
