So. The DfE can determine that Ofsted might not be ‘helpful’ at MAT level. Sounds like the unhelpful impact on individual schools is not considered as considerately. Individual schools and school leaders are presumably dispensable? MATs are not?

Parentmail (in image) sent by @LSFederation today. 'We continue to engage with all stakeholders to bring the current strike action to an end as soon as possible.' Meaningful & fair compromise with unions would help bring an end to strike action. NEU reps response in retweet.

Oh, poor MATs!!!! This is absolutely discriminatory towards local authority schools! When they say MATs aren’t fully matured for inspections, they mean MATs are free to do whatever they feel like doing and DfE doesn’t want Ofsted to interrupt them.

@andrewcollier Some context: supply teachers unaware they were being brought in to cover striking teachers. Us staff feel that our opinions mean nothing to the GB. Morale at an all time low. The GB has yet to come back to us with new date for talks. Like many, I am completely depressed.
@MarkBoylanEd So much discretion to Ofsted on eg return inspections, with no transparency over how decisions are made. Again, are Ofsted's systems fit for the huge weight now being placed upon them, in terms of the control of schools?
I was an inner city kid, at school in Bermondsey from the mid-1960s-mid 1970s. I’d honestly have rather spent an hour on my own with a sandwich and piece of fruit than be subjected to this every lunchtime.
Finding our ways back to a more mature education system, with more ecological networks and a more sustainable professional economy feels essential.
Headteachers used to have LA advisors and neighbouring colleagues for support and mentorship (before schools had to compete for status). Teachers used to have networks and teacher centres to support growth and development. Now it’s off the shelf CPD, platforms & costly coaching.
The DfE are inconsistent in how quickly they act, and it is a lottery in how quickly a re-inspection happens. So very unfair. One way to improve this would be for a longer and more consultative process about any change in governance arrangements.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying- safeguarding issues can often be fixed very quickly. But Ofsted & DfE typically insist on bringing in the heavy machinery straight away. It’s unnecessary & needs sorting out immediately.

On local Lewisham school(s) Prendergast @keepprendergast and strike action through @LewishamNeu On Mental Health Awareness Week Some parents and kids are finding this too hard How can a board of governors suddenly vote to switch to academy like this
@keepprendergast @CroftonParkLife This is a mess! Are the strikes going to be in place in Sept if a compromise isn’t reached? Even if it was 10 month delay - that’s another 10 mths of uncertainty. Furious that there was no mention of academy proposal when selecting secondary schools.
So. The DfE can determine that Ofsted might not be ‘helpful’ at MAT level. Sounds like the unhelpful impact on individual schools is not considered as considerately. Individual schools and school leaders are presumably dispensable? MATs are not?
Should Ofsted do MAT level inspections? Barran said they considered the sector 'maturity' and 'needed to put in more support' for trusts. 'We weren't sure it was a helpful thing at this point' - not on agenda for her and Nick Gibb
All educators should hear this again and again. The late @SirKenRobinson …
