Improving the outcomes and life chances for young people wont materialise from thin air because Ofsted has come up with another set of adjectives. The answer lies in tangible strategic investment. Ofsted is not the answer to raising standards in schools

Hard to believe-and worse still when you find out we are paying these extortionate rates for a provision that is often inadequate and unsatisfactory. Our most vulnerable deserve much better
The NAO report on state-funded and largely private-provided residential care for at-risk and troubled children is chilling. Each placement costs an average of £318,400, almost NINE TIMES median household income, but “many children are not in a setting that meets their needs

The wellbeing of leaders is not being prioritised-Ofsted own independent report states that these ‘changes do not reduce the pressures on leaders and called upon Ofsted to reduce isolation and individual responsibility’ We must do more to ensure we learn lessons from the past.
"We are gravely concerned about the welfare of leaders and teachers as well as the impact on recruitment and retention," says @pepediiasio
