The Education Committee today publishes its report on the appointment of Sir Martyn Oliver’s candidacy for the role of His Majesty’s Chief Inspector (HMCI) at Ofsted.
A pre-appointment hearing with Sir Martyn, the Government’s preferred candidate to become the next HMCI, was held on 5 September.
Following the hearing, the Committee decided it was satisfied that Sir Martyn has the appropriate professional competence and personal independence for the role.
The cross-party Committee reached its decision after a majority vote in favour of the Government awarding the post to Sir Martyn.
