The choice is not between Ofsted and no Ofsted, writes former HMI Adrian Lyons, it is between high-stakes judgement imposed upon schools and intelligent external accountability carried out with schools

Interesting case studies from this DfE research on belonging.
What struck me:
- Good lesson routines help absent pupils belong again
- Staff belonging comes first
- Belonging is mostly a byproduct, not itself a target.

I quite like what Sara Lawrence Lighfoot said when asked by Bill Moyers (in A world of ideas, 1989) to define good teaching. She said, "Ideas conveyed through relationships." Note she did not say "Relationships developed through ideas."

🚨 Pep Guardiola hits back at Jim Ratcliffe: "We treat immigrants or people that come from other countries like they are the ones causing problems for our country. It's a big problem because the fact I am Catalan and you are British? What influence did we have on where we were born?
"Everyone wants to have a better life, everyone wants to have a better future for themselves and their families. Sometimes the opportunities are where you are born and sometimes it is in the place where you go.
"The colour of your skin or the place where you were born don't make a difference.
"Most people run away from their countries for the problems that are in their country, not because they want to leave.
"The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."
