On the day of our meeting the weather was glorious, so I decided to walk from King’s Cross to Aviation House where Ofsted is based as it would give me a chance to reminisce about my student days of living and studying in WC1 whilst I had been at SOAS. I’m glad I did because I had two encounters on my journey that made me think of the everyday diversity in London and how very different this was compared to Yorkshire where I live and work.
A few weeks ago, several of my colleagues @DiLeed @catharineEAL, @FranNantongwe, @chrisp09, @amdindependent, Dianne Excell and I had the opportunity to meet with Sean Harford, Ofsted’s National Director of Schools and Mark Sims, HMI, Lead for EAL and ESOL.
