I was invited recently to give a talk at a conference dedicated to school inspection in Wales.
An interesting focus given the very many changes – and challenges – facing educators currently.
I had anticipated, given that Estyn was cited very clearly in the conference title, that representatives of the organisation would have been present in the audience, if not on ‘stage’.
And it was on that basis that I accepted the invitation; there were, I felt, certain messages that needed to be aired, that were not necessarily being aired elsewhere.
