Achieving positive accountability in our schools

With so much discussion around the negative impact of inspection, deputy head Rosanna Raimato and SSAT’s Kirstie Andrew-Power discuss what positive accountability could look like.

The first meeting of the SSAT Vision 2040 group was characterised by an enthusiasm that took discussion and debate far away from talk of a depressing education landscape, into the realms of what solutions are attainable and what more we can do together as a profession and to support one another.

The group has been set up by SSAT to engage in research, share practice and involve colleagues and students in leading the agenda on education and schooling as we move towards 2040.

Chaired by Tom Sherrington, headteacher of King Edward VI Grammar School in Chelmsford, the group consists of leaders and practitioners who applied to join. There were conflicting views and opinions, healthy debate, a commitment to action and tangible outcomes under four themes – teaching and learning, professional capital, principled curriculum design, and accountability.
