Sir Martyn Oliver has pledged to undertake a “big listen” and wants to let senior inspectors work in schools and other education providers if he becomes Ofsted chief inspector.
But the Outwood Grange Academies Trust boss has warned that “the last thing the system needs right now … is a revolution”.
Oliver was confirmed as the government’s preferred candidate for the job back in July. If approved, he will begin his initial five-year term on January 1.
It comes against a backdrop of widespread calls for reform of the watchdog, following the death of headteacher Ruth Perry.
