Amanda Spielman, our guest this week, has worn many hats during her career. Best known in the world of education for being HM Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills from January 2017 to December 2023, Amanda also had a successful early career in finance and was on the founding senior leadership team at Ark Schools from 2015. Amanda is also a Visiting Professor in Practice at LSE and a trustee at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

However, we are a podcast about exams and assessment.... so we really hone in on Amanda's time between 2011 and 2016 when she was Chair of Ofqual, her reflections on the reforms and her hopes for the upcoming Curriculum and Assessment Review. This is a full deep dive into exams and assessment- enjoy!
