Teachers dismissed: Sir Michael Wilshaw said the network should be created to help him spot failing schools
Scruffy teachers will be ordered to smarten up in the classroom from next month in a demand set by the new head of Ofsted.
Sir Michael Wilshaw, said he wanted teachers to be judged on the quality of their lessons and that inspectors would note whether ‘teachers looked professional.’
He refused to be drawn on specific issues such as whether male teachers would be expected to wear a shirt and tie.
Sir Michael told The Times: ‘I am simply saying they should look professional and be professional. I think it is important when you are dealing with children who look upon adults in a particular way and would expect them to look as if they are in a charge.’
He also said failing schools and incompetent headteachers could be expelled from their jobs if a network of commissoners is set up to spot them
Sir Michael Wilshaw, the incoming head of Ofsted said the network should be created so the job of spotting failing schools does not fall on his shoulders alone as more schools become independent academies under the Government’s education reforms.
He also said scruffy teachers could be rebuked by his organisation, saying school inspection reports should comment on the professional dress and behaviour of staff.
Sir Michael said that by the time Ofsted recognised a school as failing it was often too late, creating a need for local troubleshooters to identify problems early.
He called on ministers to appoint dozens of local commissioners to decide whether to close or merge academies or replace head teachers or governing bodies where standards were unacceptably low.
He told The Times: ‘I speak as someone who believes in autonomy and who believes in independence and as a great supporter of the academy programme, but we know there will be some academies that won’t do well.
‘It is no good just relying on Ofsted to give the judgment.
Dress code: Teachers could be rebuked by Ofsted for their behaviour in the classroom and being scruffy
‘By that time it is too late. We need some sort of intermediary bodies which can detect when things aren’t going well, look at the data and have their ear very close to the ground to determine when there is a certain issue.’
On dress code, he said: ‘If we turned up at the doctor’s surgery or the lawyer’s offices or a surgeon’s consultation we would expect them to look professional, it’s the same with teachers.’
Shadow Education Secretary, Stephen Twigg said his party would give ‘serious consideration’ to the idea of commissioners
Stephen Twigg, Labour’s Shadow Education
Secretary, said his party would give ‘serious consideration’ to the
idea of commissioners.
He said: ‘As part of Labour’s policy review we will give serious consideration to Sir Michael’s suggestion.
‘We have been looking at the idea of
local schools’ commissioners to raise standards and deal with poorly
performing schools, whilst protecting autonomy and local accountability..
‘But the Tory-led Government must answer serious questions before bringing in any changes.
‘Will the new posts be accountable to local parents and communities?
‘Will the new superintendents be qualified professionals? What relationship will they have with local authorities?
‘Will there be a rigorous process of appointment or will the new jobs be given to favoured sons who simply fit with the Tories’ out of touch and out of date ideology?
‘There needs to be strong evidence that these plans would work in the UK. They deserve a fair hearing but ministers should come to Parliament and explain them.’

Teaching standards went down when the Govmnt. closed down the teacher training colleges in the late 70s. At training colleges everyone was there for same purpose, to train to teach. The lecturers/tutors were by and large experienced people who had spent time at the sharp end. If you were scruffy your tutor would have a word or the Principal would become involved. The Govmnt. then decided everyone needed a degree so colleges were closed and students went to University. As a result many experienced teachers were overlooked as these “bright” new teachers came in and were promoted in schools. These same people moved up the scale in quick timeand some became advisors with little real time in a school.

My daughter attended a school which had a fantastic reputation, unfortunately, the head changed just before she went there, the decline was unbelieable. Here too she attended a very good High School, in her last year the Head changed, the decline unbelievable. A Head teacher is very much like a CEO of a company, if they are poor leaders, poor disciplinarians, poor at communicating etc. then the school will fail – which is what appears to be happening more and more because Head Teachers are in the positions not because of ability, but mainly due to political correctness (note how many female heads are absolutely useless, more tree hugging than there to lead and teach). It is time political correctness was booted out and commonsense and ability brought back. Children deserve a good future, unfortunately, they are being failed by their famillies and education.

There is no doubt about it some teachers and would be teachers want smartening up. I saw a student teacher in a primary school recently dressed as though she was going out on the town. When the headteacher sent her home to change into something more suitable, she wondered why!!!!!!!!!

“Adequate” (ofsted insult term of a teacher) the traditional answer when ROLLS ROYCE were asked what the POWER of the engine in one of their cars was!

The TROUBLESHOOTERS that are needed are those that will deal with the OFSTED inspectors that have the mindset of CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

More power to this man… He has a track record of success, millions of children will benefit when we get an education system that considers teaching children is the most important thing, ever. Scrap the usual wet, hand -wringing, leftie teachers and the Educational establishment and especially the teachers unions whose sole responsibility has been to look after their members regardless of their obvious failings. I have been a school governor and have owned my own school overseas. Just read the Guardian and note the spiteful, bile and hatred this appointment has generated it must be right!

Ofsted inspections should state what the staff turnover is at a school; that’s the best way to judge what sort of a headteacher is in place. Simple.
