News support feature: New Chief Inspector
24 Nov 2011
Sir Michael Wilshaw will be starting his new position as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector (HMCI) of Education, Children's Services and Skills in January 2012, after being approved for the role by MPs in a pre-appointment hearing held in November.
He will succeed Miriam Rosen, who was appointed in July 2011 as HMCI on an interim basis.
Sir Michael has worked as a teacher for 42 years, including 25 years as a headteacher in London secondary schools. He was knighted in 2000 for services to education. He will leave his current posts as executive headteacher of Mossbourne Academy in Hackney and as Director of Education at ARK (Absolute Return for Kids), which runs nine academies and two Free Schools.
Ofsted Chair, Baroness Sally Morgan said, ‘Sir Michael will join a talented team of senior colleagues with a broad range of expertise and skills. He will be a real asset to the organisation.’
