A speech by Ofsted's Chief Inspector at the Association of School and College Leaders Annual Conference 2024.
Hello! Thank you for that welcome.
Thank you for the invitation, and for the very many constructive meetings I’ve had with ASCL colleagues in my first couple of months. I’m actually on my 49th day in post today. I hope those meetings will continue.
I met with Geoff, thanks Geoff, on my fourth day in post, and I’m looking forward to working with Pepe when you take on the mantle next month. Congratulations to Pepe.
I’m delighted to be here, speaking to you, the leaders of this country’s great schools and colleges.
