Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Committee notes that despite Sir Martyn’s call for “more current serving leaders”, to make Ofsted an “inspection of the system by the system”, he himself has “never served as an inspector” before, due to “being too busy going behind the schools that Ofsted has placed into special measures and picking them up to have the time to go on and do it myself”.19 We therefore hope that in his position he will be mindful of the difficulties that leaders face in balancing their responsibilities to their schools with training to be and acting as inspectors.
