Should I be surprised that human ballbag #MichaelGove who destroyed well run #Birmingham schools with #TrojanHorse racist #SatanicPanic also lauded #Mossbourne schools which got great #OFSTED reports while abusing and terrorizing teenage students until they soiled themselves or became suicidal?

Probably not.

BBC News: Unlawful care homes ‘profiteering’ from at-risk children - BBC

@bullivant from Sam Freedman's book discussing #APCareHomes safeguarding failures surrounding care of children (girls age 12-16) in their #Wilmslow, #Cheshire care home.

He reflects on the 'blatantly ill-qualified people' - such as owners #AmpikaPickston and her fiance - convicted Pimp, Pornographer and #WestHamUnited CEO #DavidSullivan, that #Ofsted licensed to own them!

Would UK authorities allow people like #Savile, #HughHefner etc., to open girls care homes I wonder?

Research on #academies & council maintained #schools suggests that the policy of shifting schools into Academy management is not serving the needs of #students, measured by schools' #OFSTED grading.

However, given the economic structure of privately-run academies there is a group that are clearly benefiting (financially)...

Everywhere you turn the #Tories have moved to enrich a small coterie of chums & 'fellow travellers' - #Torycorruption takes many forms

Four other schools’ OFSTED reports, written in the Autumn term of 2022-2023, read similarly to #Caversham #RuthPerry: Inadequate on just one count, but Inadequate overall.

After what has seemed like forever waiting, #Ofsted finally arrived yesterday. My #SBM meeting was over and done with by 8.20am on day 1 and it went great! Extremely pleased it’s now all over for another 4 years, and will be pouring a large G&T very shortly!

Been sharing this with a few folk individually recently but might as well share it further for anyone else interested. A paper I wrote for Anarchist Studies journal making an anarchist critique of attempts at ‘character education’ in English state schools. How can teachers in such contexts be role models of character when to succeed professionally we become riddled with vice? https://journals.lwbooks.co.uk/anarchiststudies/vol-29-issue-2/article-9445/

@ThisMonkeyTypes Lots of education people, most of those I'm following here so far are HE, however, I'm thinking that if there was an appropriate "home" for other sectors, together or not, it would help. I'm not thinking specifically edtech (despite handle). But am thinking home for #CASchat #ofsted #ukedchat etc (many more)

Has anyone else read the #Ofsted review on #EYFS released on 15/11/22 ? #EarlyYears #EduTooter #Nursery #Foundation #EduToot
