In her inaugural address as incoming president of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), Bernadette Hunter, pictured below, called for a system of inspection that “doesn’t keep moving the bar”.

“We need a stable inspection system that doesn’t keep moving the bar every few months, that doesn’t use adversarial and punitive language in its reports, that doesn’t strike fear and dread into every conversation where it is mentioned.”
