Sir Martyn Oliver has vowed to work “closely with the whole sector” to “create the best system” for children after being confirmed as the Department for Education’s preferred candidate for Ofsted chief inspector.
Gillian Keegan confirmed selection of the Outwood Grange Academies Trust boss this morning.
In a statement, Oliver said he was “deeply honoured and hugely privileged” by the recommendation.
He will now appear before the education committee in September. If approved, he will begin his initial five-year term on January 1.
