It’s important to recognise that not all questions being raised currently about Ofsted’s grading system are necessarily political or ideological in nature. Saying so risks dismissing worthwhile questions rooted in legitimate issues of effective evaluation.

For instance adults should be able to answer simple questions like: "If you are thousands of maths teachers short of required numbers + you've cut real terms pay for 13 years + then you introduce a policy that requires thousands more maths teachers how likely is it to succeed?"

This hour is one of the most inspiring I have spent for ages. Abigail has such energy, clarity and moral purpose.

Replying to @jon_hutchinson_
Now we’re hearing from Intrepid College Prep. The CEO Abigail Rockey is a force of nature. In fact, all of the leaders that we’ve heard from are so impressive and have such conviction. They have a clear narrative and set out extremely clearly what they are going to achieve.

Over 100 educational leaders here at @WestExeSchool for the inaugural SW100 Summit. Everyone is here because they are committed to eradicating educational disadvantage in the southwest. Nobody in this room can do it by themselves. But by working together, it’s possible.

Leaders are coming together—from a wide range of schools and trusts across the region, remember—to elevate and interrogate our shared challenge, and to call others to action.

It is *always* a pleasure hearing from SW100er @joannapple about the great many opportunities and challenges of small schools—yes, there are fewer levers you can pull but the *depth* of impact teachers can have in their multi-phase classrooms is, arguably, all the more profound.
