This week the gents are joined by a friend, colleague and keen follower of their weekly chat, Kendra Allen. This is the third time Kendra has been a guest and she never disappoints in being able to draw on considerable experience as a senior leader and adviser to get to the heart of the weekly education news. This week we chat about lecterns, rain, umbrellas, planning (or lack of it) and why did someone not step outside and offer an umbrella to the PM, or least hold one open for him? Stan considers whether three separate visits to a Croydon school by Ofsted can realistically be deemed a single inspection? Kendra then connects her interest in darts and National Numeracy Day which was this week. Frank then considers all of the proposals, consultations, reviews, publications, surveys and other activities that will now stop (and possibly not proceed) following the move to a purdah period. It's a fun and enjoyable chat with some humour so, we hope, a nice way to move into the Bank Holiday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
