Today the government, paraphrasing the coroner, chose “Transparency and ease of message” over “teacher welfare”. If they had to use a single word, we wish they’d chosen ‘Compassion’. Care of Julia Waters, the words of #RuthPerry, someone we knew, loved and respected:
If there was a BAFTA award for the person who has most frequently acted as a ‘standby’ contribution to a news or current affairs program, I would win. I’ve now done interviews that never aired or was stood down from interviews with Radios 4 and 5, BBC One and ITV…
So many school leaders stand together with Ruth Perry’s family in their disappointment that nothing systemic has changed at Ofsted. So we continue to campaign, we continue to fight. It makes us stronger not weaker. @HeadsRoundtable theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Berkshire’s senior coroner was critical of Ofsted’s actions following Ruth Perry’s death BUT when she wrote “No learning review of these matters was conducted by Ofsted” in the Regulation 28 report, she was referring to Ofsted’s work in its entirety as it related to Caversham…

Very interesting article about the overwhelming body of research showing greater efficacy of enquiry based learning over DI in different subjects, at all ages and across cultures. (Also points out the issues with Cognitive Load Theory.) alfiekohn.org/blogs/clt/
Are you aware of the current consultation on 'Gender Questioning Children'? It was brought out 19.12.23 and my fear is that it closes on 12.3.24 with few people knowing about some massive u-turns! Please read, share and respond to the consultation. educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2023/12/19/gen…
Lessons in leadership from Ted Lasso: 1. Be sincere 2. Stay teachable 3. See good in others 4. Happiness is a choice 5. Winning is an attitude 6. Have confidence in yourself 7. Optimists take more chances 8. Everyone differs from everyone else 9.…
There seems to be so much complaining about schools at the moment - about behaviour, the state of SEND, about leadership, etc , it's easy to always focus on the negatives, so let's flood twitter with why being in a school is the best and most exciting place ever? #ShineOn
You may have missed Julia Waters’ various appearances across the news media on the day of the Select Committee’s report into the efficacy of OFSTED. Her voice is powerful and well worth listening to. youtu.be/LJ4eLBXNcO0

Can’t believe I ever used to shout at kids, am embarrassed at the thought. The trauma-informed, relational approach has taken us years to do properly but school’s such a better place for it. You really have to believe in it & persevere but, goodness me, does it work. #PaulDix
In demanding an action plan for Prevention of Future Death from Ofsted, DfE and Reading, the coroner effectively said: if any or all of you had acted differently Ruth Perry could well be alive today. We need effective, systemic change from all 3. schoolsweek.co.uk/one-year-after…
I see quite a few people have adopted the image below in recognition of the one year anniversary of Ruth Perry's death. In addition Reading schools have posted images of candles and many heads have placed an LED candle on their desks. What a beautiful community teaching is.
A half day of HMI training wasn’t enough, two weeks of HMI training isn’t enough. Only making the system fair, consistent, transparent and accountable will be enough. #rememberingruth #shinealight #ruthperry
Don’t forget Ruth, she was broken by a terrible OFSTED system that has to change. We’ve battled hard all year and finally there appears to be someone in charge who is open to that change, but it hasn’t happened yet...
A year ago today a primary Headteacher Ruth Perry took her life and the subsequent inquest found the inspection had contributed to her death. The determined and dignified response from her sister Julia, and her campaign for root and branch reform, has been remarkable.

I champion school leaders, teachers and school staff so we can create great schools together.Julia Waters is a giant of a person in a world of miniatures. Rightly expressing incendiary anger of the DfEs tin earedness. @bbc5live It is a disgrace and any further events will very much be on them
Single word judgements don't help pupils, parents or school staff. They're just far too reductive for something as complex as a school. The government claim to be listening to concerns about Ofsted but the evidence says otherwise. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Governments claims of ‘significant benefits’ are bogus. And they know it.
The Government has said the system of one-word Ofsted judgements for schools in England has "significant benefits" and should stay. The sister of head teacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life after her school was downgraded, told #BBCBreakfast she was deeply upset…
Today the government, paraphrasing the coroner, chose “Transparency and ease of message” over “teacher welfare”. If they had to use a single word, we wish they’d chosen ‘Compassion’. Care of Julia Waters, the words of #RuthPerry, someone we knew, loved and respected:
It is impossible to effectively judge and grade a school in 2 days. The judgement is therefore meaningless for parents. And we will continue to see good leaders and teschers leave the profession.
If there was a BAFTA award for the person who has most frequently acted as a ‘standby’ contribution to a news or current affairs program, I would win. I’ve now done interviews that never aired or was stood down from interviews with Radios 4 and 5, BBC One and ITV…
“How can she have heard about what that horrendous, unjust 'inadequate' word did to my sister, and still stand by these utterly discredited, reductive labels?”…
As Julia, Ruth’s sister, said to me yesterday evening;” What else do the DfE need, to make the changes that are so self-evidently needed? How can Gillian Keegan have sat next to me through over eleven hours of meetings?”…
But no, it was a phantom, a false leak. And where is the Secretary of State in all of this? Entirely absent with not a thing to say. Why even bother with a judiciary or a Select Committee if the Secretary of State just ignores everything they say?...
It literally doesn’t matter what qualities she has as a person, she is the wrong person to lead the review and the review is asking the wrong questions…
Only on this hell site could you say you’re proud of a child for reading with improved confidence and have some doughnut go ‘well I’m proud of MY children ALL the time!’
#ofsted It’s surely time for action. After this news that the govt has ridden roughshod over Ruth Perry’s memory, her family, the Select Committee and the views of almost every school and teacher in the country. Time to close school gates to Ofsted. RT.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
We all know the “Big Listen” is not really about listening, it’s very much about maintaining the status quo. The government’s announcement about single word judgements today sums up that there will be no change, no listening and no difference.
It's a little hard to know how to express my disappointment at today's news about inspection. Ofsted says it's listening. But even IF the inspectorate is listening, the Government is tone deaf. The childcare & education professions, and the nation's children, deserve better.
So many school leaders stand together with Ruth Perry’s family in their disappointment that nothing systemic has changed at Ofsted. So we continue to campaign, we continue to fight. It makes us stronger not weaker. @HeadsRoundtable theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
I’ve read the government’s response to the Select Committee’s Inquiry into Ofsted’s Work with Schools, and it is the most pathetic excuse for can-kicking inaction I have ever seen. It is an absence of a response, a vacuum of responsibility, a void of accountability…
If you know me personally, we aren’t putting it out on social media but it’s been a hell of a journey and I want to shout it from the rooftops. IVF worked (5th transfer) and fingers crossed, we have our baby due early November! ❤️
💔 it didn’t work. It gets that little bit harder every time. But lucky, once we feel ready, we can go again for another go. Keep everything crossed! #ivf

Am trying desperately hard to remain positive/optimistic, but how can a former Ofsted Chief Inspector conduct an ‘independent’ inquiry in to the actions of an institution they once led? An ex-headteacher would never be asked back to review the actions of one of their successors…
Breaking: @Ofstednews has named a former chief inspector to lead the independent inquiry into its response to Ruth Perry’s death It will look at actions the watchdog took, its communications regarding the incident and support offered to staff schoolsweek.co.uk/former-ofsted-…
Since the death of Ruth Perry, OFSTED have: Launched a survey where the possible answers range from yes to very very yes. Not included one word judgements in said survey. Appointed a member of their own HMI 'club' to chair the 'independent' review on Ruth Perry. Enabled…
