Imagine if Ofsted reports just looked like this. No overall grades but clear strengths, direction and priorities. Reviewed by a peer principal/ head over a series of visits. Interested to see people's thoughts.

So I challenged chatGPT to imagine @Ofstednews did not exist and suggest an alternative system for school improvement that would be viewed as supportive, fair and reliable. It took 10 seconds to come up with this suggestion.

If there is anything that demonstrates why Ofsted categories MUST end it has to be this. What a loss Ruth Perry surely was to eduction but, above all, to her family. Ruthโ€™s sisterโ€™s words are utterly heartbreaking. This simply cannot go on. Full clip:

Teachers who have a classroom: This week, take a moment to appreciate a colleague who doesn't. Nomadic teaching is a different beast. Even better, don't lock all the cupboards, leave the remote control accessible and maybe some spare pens. They can't carry everything.

Teachers: remember that 'live online teaching' does not mean a full lesson of you actively teaching. Set tasks for students to complete independently, give them a time limit and be available for individuals that might need support.

Can we stop with the 'digital natives' tag? Young people may have grown up in an age of digital but it, and their usage has changed rapidly in that time. Don't assume a smartphone user will excel with a mouse or keyboard. Don't assume a gamer will take to spreadsheets.
