Ofsted quiz: Can you spot a ‘strong’ rating from a ‘secure’ one? Ofsted's proposed 'toolkits' have been criticised as being too unclear - but do they make sense?

Schools Week have devised a quiz!

Higher or Lower! Can you spot which statement in the Ofsted framework is for the higher grade?!

2/5. I hope this says more about the subjectivity of the criteria and less about my leadership (or literacy)!

Great quote from @dylanwiliam @CharteredColl 'If we direct our energies not on evaluating teachers but on improving them, we are far more likely to improve the quality of education that our pupils receive'

I found out recently that my final NPQH assessment will be marked using comparative judgement. Knowing that each assessor will spend no more than 2 mins reading my work makes me feel that it is not worth spending too much time sweating over it.

I can't bear directors who think it is acceptable to stake a claim on two and a half hours of my life to watch their film. I am 100% with you on the 1hr 45mins. That way, I am often still awake to see the ending

What’s the story? How school leaders can shape the rhythm of the year to inspire focus, connection, and purpose

My favourite new substack is Beyond the Frame, from my incredibly talented colleague and friend @sam-fitzpatrick.bsky.social

Sam offers genuinely unique perspectives on so many aspects of education and leadership.

First up: narrating the story 👇🏽

Teachers: I heard that if you haven't yet hoovered the house from top to bottom, and decluttered the useful drawer, they will take away your QTS.

I'm getting some pushback on my post about banning smartphones. Lot of it is "this is a moral panic don't ban stuff it'll be fine.'
A key thing to understand here though is many young people themselves don't like what phones are doing to them. This is different to rock music or video games etc.

Feeling really bad now about that time I used a school post it note to write a personal list of things I was going to pick up in the shop on the way home.

I think I'm going to turn myself in.

“Infinite” in maths and “definite” in not maths are related in that definite stems from “bounded within limits” (think “defined”) and infinite means unbounded without limits. So now you’ll never spell “definite” incorrectly again. You’re welcome. 😉

Golden Silence There's something magical about a silent classroom. Students are focused, heads are down, pens are busily scratching away. Participation Ratio is high, and you can almost feel the learning in the room...
