Join the Tes team as we talk about how Ofsted has managed to “offend everybody” - not only through its “unrepresentative” research findings on how schools are coping with financial pressures, but also through a controversial blog by HM chief inspector of schools Amanda Spielman, suggesting that heads were “squandering money”.
We also discuss the latest implications for schools of the coronavirus outbreak, and how a multi-academy trust facing a £1 million deficit is trying to save cash by asking staff not to overfill kettles - despite awarding a pay rise to its chief executive.
