Sir Martyn Oliver, the leader of an academy trust renowned for high numbers of suspensions, has been nominated as Ofsted’s next chief inspector to oversee England’s inspectorate of schools, children’s services and prison education in the new year.
Gillian Keegan, the education secretary, formally recommended Oliver to succeed Amanda Spielman as His Majesty’s chief inspector, a decision that will be ratified by parliament after a pre-appointment hearing in autumn.
