@warwickmansell Has #Ofsted made any official response to these devastating findings? How could it give these terrifying abusive culture an “Outstanding” report Sir Martin Oliver? @tombennett71 @bphillipsonMP is there no regard for child safeguarding at Ofsted?

DfE attendance targets for every school: https://t.co/g9gtwXkMBD

21 out of well over 1000 schools by the way that have cohorts of 20%+ disadvantaged white British:

Progress 8 has always favoured London by design. DfE’s own analysis shows that only 21 schools that have the most disadvantaged, white British cohorts returned a positive progress 8 score. You can’t punish schools for simply serving different communities.

You can’t build a successful education system around shame, embarrassment, detention & exclusion. You can’t create inclusion for all via a curriculum that only works for some. So as the saying goes “If the child doesn’t learn the way you teach, start teaching the way they learn.”

Off to Data Decoded in Manchester today. Hope to learn about some useful things.

New (open access) piece: "Ofsted doesn’t seem to get the picture on competition versus inclusion in England’s schools system" Readable here: https://t.co/CNKHTjcLbQ and here: https://t.co/jovWcp4IhL Think piece on Sir Martyn Oliver's statements this week to MPs.

The latest ofsted model will simply perpetuate, or possibly worsen, what is already happening. It is a dead parrot simple as that. The selection by compliance schs will continue to be rewarded. The inclusive ones will live in fear of the next insp. People will be damaged again

Investigation: Councils have accused schools of refusing so many challenging pupils it 'amounts to selection', capping cohorts to prevent in-year transfers of vulnerable pupils and wrongly turning away youngsters in care https://t.co/6yD3DetYwx

Exclusive: Ofsted is refusing to publish consultation data showing how many people opposed its new report card inspections, despite pledging transparency over the high-profile reforms https://t.co/mHwSEKmh7U

An expert in the field just told me, 'Of the 190,000 informed today of grade 3 in English Language, about 37,000 should have been awarded grade 4, and a handful, grade 5. Those 37,000 were not awarded Grade 4 because Ofqual failed to deliver a reliable grade.'

Apparently SISRA has issues this morning in case you are wondering why you can’t access.

Good luck to everyone downloading and analysing KS4 results

@ChrisBeeden @MrDaveBaker @WayneNorrie @DataEducator Due to changes which massively increase funding risk we are running this free webinar

Do you like data? Yeah, I like data! I'd like to alert you to a free data event we are running: Branching Out intends to bring education data people together in an informal environment for networking, sharing conversations and ideas! https://t.co/ULGkOxa8gm

🚨 Really important research published today regarding the link between pupil attendance & attainment in Key Stages 2 and 4. Highly recommend reading. The findings are very concerning. https://t.co/5vi7edYDL5 #schoolleadership #attendance #pupilabsence #pupilachievement

but in reality it is just a return to where it was after a blip or poor year. Also you can’t really compare cohorts in this way year on year.
