Sir Michael Wilshaw

Chief Inspector of Schools in England and Head of Ofsted

Sir Michael Wilshaw was appointed chief inspector of education, children’s services and skills in 2012, becoming head of the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), the organisation responsible for regulating and carrying out inspections of services caring for children and young people. Sir Michael spent 43 years as a teacher in London schools, latterly as the first head of one of the first academies, Hackney’s Mossbourne Community Academy. A traditionalist and proponent of discipline in education, Sir Michael believes mobile phones should be banned in schools and that Ofsted inspectors should evaluate culture and strength of leadership as well as teaching and facilities.
