Amanda Spielman, the former head of Ofsted, criticized Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson for focusing on teaching unions and reversing effective reforms related to academies. Spielman warns that the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill could undermine the autonomy of academies by changing payment structures and the curriculum. While the Department for Education emphasizes their reforms aim to attract the best teachers, Spielman believes the education secretary should reconsider these changes to prevent potential negative impacts. Her comments come after stepping down following scrutiny into Ofsted post the tragic death of head teacher Ruth Perry.
"The effective reforms are being reversed... before the damage is done".
"I am astonished by the speed and thoroughness with which Bridget Phillipson has moved to dismantle every positive aspect of the previous education policy."
