When I published my first annual report as Ofsted's chief inspector at the end of November, it was heartening to announce that England's schools are improving.
Almost 500,000 more children are attending 'good' or 'better' schools than they were three years ago. There are now around 1,000 more 'outstanding' schools, and nearly 1,000 fewer 'satisfactory' and 'inadequate' schools than there were in 2009.
