Inspiration Trust sponsor and chair of DfE Academies Board didn't apply for Ofsted role

From the EDP: Theodore Agnew, founder/sponsor of the Inspiration Trust in Norfolk, said: 'It should not be a politically-motivated appointment (chair of Ofsted). It should be a post that is supported by all the political parties because it’s an important part of the Ofsted infrastructure so I did not want to dragged into that.I think it’s a very important role and if it had not been considered controversial I would have applied for it.'
