Good to see @ofstednews publishing some analysis on similar schools.
Not just how it is playing out on inspections now but looking backwards to see how the data aligns with inspections undertaken previously when inspectors didn't have this info.

My to do list when starting as principal included:
- announce we were inadequate with serious weaknesses
- inform everyone that we were at risk of closure
- tackle the behaviour of children and conduct of parents
- tackle underperformance
It got messy…

This will be a big loss to Ofsted. Matthew is a fantastic person with so much institutional knowledge.
