This is what you have been writing to us about this week. I write with reference to the recent meeting of Buckinghamshire Council’s Children and Education Select Committee held on Thursday, March 4. My background is in education as a former secondary Headteacher and Ofsted Inspector, and the meeting agenda items of most interest to me were the last two that related to Children’s Services. By way of context, after steady improvement in the 2000’s Buckinghamshire Children’s Services was judged by Ofsted to be excellent in 2010 and 2011. In 2014, however, after a period of sustained austerity cuts, the service was judged inadequate (the lowest category) by Ofsted, and since then it has remained in that category.
