The chief executive of a multi-academy trust (MAT) has been recommended by the Education Secretary to become Ofsted’s new chief inspector.
Gillian Keegan has announced that she is recommending Sir Martyn Oliver as a replacement for current chief inspector Amanda Spielman, who will step down from the post at the end of the year.
Oliver is chief executive of Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT), a MAT with 41 primary, junior, secondary and alternative provision academies in the North of England.
Ten of the trust’s schools are rated “outstanding” by the inspectorate.
