Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has confirmed that Ms Spielman’s initial five-year term, which was due to finish at the end of the year, will be extended and run until 31 December 2023.
The Education Secretary and Chief Inspector will work closely together to support the early years, schools, colleges and children’s services as they help children to recover from the impact of the pandemic.
