If you're SLT looking to find a way to benchmark your school using the new framework, we have a benchmarking tool in place which utilises the evidence gathering statements & summative judgements around grading from the toolkit. DM me if you'd find it useful. #edutwitter
1/ Following the release of the new Ofsted inspection framework, we felt it would be useful to utilise the toolkit to help our headteachers @4stonesgateway evaluate and benchmark their schools to determine strengths and areas to address.

Perspective Reform has won 677 council seats out of the 19,228 council seats available. They have 5 MPs out of 650. Farage has yet to hold a surgery in his constituency. He's a grifter not a grafter. When UKIP won & then fucked up in Thanet, Farage ran for the hills.

Louise Haigh resigned as U.K. transport secretary and the Tories seized the moment to attack Labour with this statement: “Louise Haigh has done the right thing in resigning. It is clear she has failed to behave to the standards expected of an MP." Two words- brass neck

A brand new academic year! The end of my first week as Head of School at The Bridge Academy and what a week we’ve had at The Bridge. We’ve had induction days with all of our students and welcomed them back with open arms to their newly refurbished building! 📚✏️ We’ve also welcomed our Primary Provision into Lichfield and they’ve had a blast. The teachers have worked night and day to get the classrooms ready for learning, and the children have loved getting stuck into learning and play today! 🛝🌈 I could not be prouder of the staff, and students, for returning with such a positive attitude and ready to teach and learn. Our children deserve the best chance, and our teachers and determined to give it them! 👊🏼 #SchoolReadyWorkReadyLifeReady #ThisIsAP @the_atlp
