Gillian Keegan has announced that she is recommending Sir Martyn Oliver as a replacement for current chief inspector Amanda Spielman, who will step down from the post at the end of the year.
Oliver is chief executive of Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT), a MAT with 41 primary, junior, secondary and alternative provision academies in the North of England.
Ten of the trust’s schools are rated “outstanding” by the inspectorate.
Oliver was knighted in 2022 in the Queen’s birthday honours list for services to education.
Keegan said: “I am confident the breadth of Martyn’s experience will enable him to build on this vital work as Ofsted moves into the future.”
