Hi all,
We need an Assistant Head to join the Senior Leadership Team. If you think you have what it takes to be a leader, are a single man in your early 20s with a shiny, bright blue suit, scruffy brown shoes, a beard, no social life and called Brett, you should apply.
Thanks x
4th week back and absolutely burned out already. A one week half-term in 3 weeks time won’t be anything like long enough.

Hey, @grok , who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

Unfair teachers were told in the guidance the kids needed a protractor in Reasoning 3, then the only angles question was not to scale! I gave them a protractor so of course they used it and got the Q wrong!

I am also concerned about non- teaching member of staff is bi-polar, unstable and needs help. I’ve borne the brunt of this several times. What to do?

Starting to really feel that over-promotion in schools is a thing: less able teachers being encouraged to move up the ladder in a new school simply to move them out. I feel I’m seeing it again and again.

The use of off- the-shelf schemes of work in primary schools is de-skilling teachers. Discuss… Go!

Any Y6 teachers having success using #janeconsidine approach? I’d love to hear from you .

Ofsted won’t scrap the single word judgement because it’s invaluable to parents . So basically they’re saying parents can’t be assed reading the full report so we’ll just go with one word. Utter nonsense !

Suggested today that in order to see which kids are trashing toilets, we look at the camera covering that corridor. Been told we can’t do that. So if it isn’t there for that reason why is it there? If for security, why switched on during the day?? Please advise .

Inspecting for Ofsted:
- supports Ofsted
- supports traditionalism
- supports forced Academisation
- supports the Tories
- damages schools
- causes untold stress
- kills colleagues.
How can you? Truly, how can you?
SCHOOL LEADERS: STOP INSPECTING NOW AND FINISH OFSTED.
Plz RT
Found on my school’s website link to the governing body that the governing body “does not deal with things related to the day 2 day running of the school”. I get it - but surely that’s exactly what it should do!?

Just heard of an ofsted deep dive into history. They talked to SLT about history , then kids, then drop ins. THEN they interview history lead separately! This was not about deep dives ; it was about catching people
out, setting traps and looking for contradicting messages! Awful!

Have watched Ofsted training & taken a few hours to mull things over - ultimately, a sad reflection of how bad things are that so much of this even needed to be said.
Good inspectors already know this stuff & those who really need to hear it will be unaware that it’s for them & will have hated it.
Definitely a step in the right direction but underlying causes of stress (inherent unfairness, unpredictability & high stakes judgments etc) haven’t changed.
Our unions (because they are ours) should be calling for a longer pause of inspections whilst DfE & Ofsted work together on real reform & long-term solutions.
Positive noises but much more needed before we all stop dreading being in the window, waiting for the phone to ring & praying for ‘a decent team.’
