@cherrylkd it is. but in the inspection the emphasis was all
'observations' and 'teachers make a difference'. Nice on paper.

Do any of you use Yammer in your organisation, you can then
share. I've set it up but it's not working yet #ukedchat

@john_at_muuua #ukedchat never was mandatory, heavily
pushed by LAs. I can't see any benefits in SLTs imposing such
heavy assessment system.

shared not dished out top down

@john_at_muuua #ukedchat it's still one of the reduced areas.
Poor progress will trigger inspection for outst schools.
