Listen "“Ofsted must help, not hinder” - Sir Martyn Oliver on the new inspection framework"
Episode Synopsis
Ofsted’s new inspection framework marks one of the biggest shifts in education in a generation – but what does it really mean for schools and trusts?
In this special bonus episode of Trust Matters: Lessons in Leadership, Ellie speaks to Sir Martyn Oliver, His Majesty’s Chief Inspector, about his ambition to build, in his words, “the most human version of Ofsted yet.”
Together, they explore:
How Sir Martyn’s years leading schools in challenging contexts have shaped his approach to inspection
Why he describes the disadvantage gap as “the problem of our time”
The move from a single overall effectiveness grade to more nuanced judgments
What it means to see vulnerability as a state, not a trait, and why belong, achieve, thrive runs through the framework
How inspectors are being asked to use context, dialogue and professional curiosity to reduce “big reveal” moments
What healthy “Ofsted readiness” looks like and what Ofsted is doing to reduce unnecessary stress for leaders and staff
This is a rare chance to step inside the thinking of the person leading Ofsted’s reform and to hear, in his own words, why “Ofsted must help, it mustn’t hinder” if the system is to serve all children, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
