I cannot tell you how delighted I am that they have managed to make the sport premium reporting tool so complex. What a feat!

I see Ofsted are sticking with their "parents like it" like for the new framework. Did anyone tell the parents that the judgements would likely be very unreliable? It's like asking if folk approve if speed cameras that only catch 'bad drivers' who are speeding. Popular but unachievable.

What is the most pointless piece of data created/collected in education? I'd like to offer up the swimming percentages on the sports premium report.

This is the stand-out chart and summary from the STRB for me. Yup, that's teachers at the bottom.
