Judging from his comments at yesterday's Select Committee Martyn Oliver still doesn't fully recognise the full magnitude of the loss of the profession's confidence in Ofsted. His "reforms" are welcome but nowhere near sufficient.

What a naive question? There is no "right" progression,especially from a former member of Ofsted's problematic and now disbanded curriculum team.

This is spot on. There's very little sense right now in this debate about the balancing of harms. There's the possibility of that balance altering with a change. But there's also clear harm now that isn't being reckoned with.

The commission certainly needs to have a majority of serving teachers and be chaired by one.
