Chair of the Ofsted Board to step down next year
29 November 2024
The Chair of the Ofsted Board, Christine Gilbert, has announced that she will be stepping down from her role in 2025.
Gilbert has been in the role since 2011, and has overseen a number of significant changes to the way Ofsted operates, including the introduction of a new inspection framework and a new complaints process.
She said: “I have had the privilege of leading Ofsted through a period of significant change and development. I am proud of what we have achieved in that time, and I am confident that Ofsted is well-placed to continue to play a vital role in improving the quality of education and care for children and young people.”
The Department for Education has said that it will begin the process of recruiting a new Chair in the coming months.
Gilbert’s departure will come at a time when Ofsted is facing a number of challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education and the ongoing debate about the role of inspection in the school system.
It is unclear who will succeed Gilbert as Chair of the Ofsted Board. However, the successful candidate will need to have a deep understanding of the education system and a commitment to ensuring that Ofsted remains an effective and independent inspectorate.
