I was pleased to meet Ofsted’s Regional Director for the South East Matthew Purves last week. We discussed a broad range of topics, including the recent inspection of Oxfordshire Local Area Partnership’s SEND provision, the performance of local schools and levels of school attendance.
It was a particularly important opportunity to raise my concerns regarding the recent SEND inspection. I was reassured to hear about the work Matthew and his team are doing to hold the Local Area Partnership to account, and ensure that their Priority Action Plan is of the standard required to deliver the improvements that my constituents deserve.
