Teach Primary Magazine V.19 No.2 Retour à l'édition précédente

Well, what do you know, Ofsted has done it again. My social feeds and inbox have been flooded with outraged educators over the last week
or so, and I can’t say I blame them. The goalposts have shifted once again, folks, and nobody’s quite sure whether we’ve jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire or not. Now, that’s not for me to say, but your colleagues sure have plenty to talk about on the topic of the new inspection framework. One such educator is Claire Harley, who has written an open letter to school and MAT leaders across the country, in order to implore them not to give in to Ofsted’s apparent encouragement to play the blame game with one another (page 17). In other, somewhat related, news, our leadership section for this issue focuses on how to recruit and, importantly, keep your best staff at a time when the rates of teachers leaving the profession are through the roof. Check out what three experts have to say on the matter from page 43.
