Today we published our response to Ofsted's Big Listen - tinyurl.com/fxxxhdty - ASCL is clear that removal of single-phrase judgements would be the policy with the single biggest impact. It's hard, there's a lot of regulatory stuff to work through, but it has to happen.

Pleased to have been invited to speak at the ASCL #EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) Summit 2024. This will take place on Monday 1st July '24 in Birmingham.
