A1 #NewToSLTChat New faces bring fresh ideas and keeps those of us who have been around "for a while" accountable for what we do and how we do what we do. Does that make sense?

Agreed. My personal experience has always been positive as well, so it’s nice to hear other people the same. #NewToSLTChat

I do however empathise with colleagues who've had a different experience of inspectors.

My experience has always been fine with front-line inspectors.

One issue is that social media sometimes gives inspectors unfair flak and they can't really respond to give their different perspective (just like teachers don't respond if they see their school getting flak on Facebook).

Just pin as much as possible on the data, broadly contextualised. The DfE's moves to produce measures v comparable schools is good I think. Anything else isn't reliable and is just making things up/buying into someone's narrative.

They vary between OK and mostly silly

Doing those things takes the pressure off a bit IMO.

It's always an intense couple of days. I think it's important as a leader to try and take the pressure off staff as much as possible.

I research the inspectors so I know exactly who I'm talking to. And it's important to be very clear about where the school is at and all be on the same page.

Absolutely. Waiting can often be the hardest part, but you’re right, it doesn’t feel like we’ve got it quite right yet does it. Hopefully that will come.. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 #NewToSLTChat

Honestly, I’m glad the months of waiting for inspection is no longer a thing. The pilot inspection was hard work.

I don’t disagree with a level of checking how things are going in schools, but I’m yet to be convinced by the latest inspection framework.

Quite a few inspections over the years. First one had months worth of notice.

Recently been in the pilot for the new framework.
