Agree, this was good to hear.
Very impressive band!
An uncomfortable moment for Ofsted chief Sir Martyn Oliver today at #ASCL2025:
He was met with laughs from the crowd after he told delegates that “I don’t want you to be doing anything ‘for Ofsted’”.
Seems school leaders disagree…

If you haven’t watched Freddie Flintoff’s ‘Field of Dreams On Tour’ yet, catch up on IPlayer. It demonstrates that it’s not enough to just give a disadvantaged young person an opportunity and leave them to it, you also need to support them with what to do with it.
