22. Is Good good enough?

23. To be outstanding in Essex Strong, stimulating teaching across the school is the main goal.

24. To be outstanding in Essex Take a more active approach to the more able.

25. To be outstanding in Essex Get to a closer match of teaching to need. Smarter use of tracking…? (….and now is a good time to do it.)

26. To be outstanding in Essex Check writing. The writing curriculum has changed quite a lot. Check numeracy in Years 3 & 4. That is where the big shift has occurred.

27. Not because of the government Not because of Ofsted Certainly not for a speaker
