Every job has its own jargon and acronyms, and education is no exception. It makes communication quicker and easier for those in the know, but it can be intimidating to new comers. What, for example, do you make of the following statement?
The HT reported to the GB that HMI were visiting the school to perform subject inspections on ICT and EAL at KS1 and KS2 following the INSET day. HMI would report back to the SMT and the SENCO on their findings. The HT highlighted that the SEF, which had recently been updated in light of the recent changes to the OFSTED framework, helped to identify priorities for the SIP.
