Here's an interview with the new Chief Inspector of #OFSTED - I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about whether he is a welcome new broom or mistaken about his own organisation's practice(s).

To be fair to him, we need to wait to see how this plays out... but given the short period it took from #VictoriaAtkins to go from potentially bringing a shift in Govt. #education policy & her swift return to previous Ed.Sec's form, we may not have long to wait to find out!

I went to see the Banksy exhibition in #Glasgow 's GOMA today. IMHO is excellent. It's fun, teasing, serious, provocative and very well curated. It's a single installation rather than a series of art works. In it he is as much showing his working as finished pieces.

If you are at all in the vicinity I strongly recommend seeing it. Tickets at https://cutandrun.co.uk/
