Sean 6,309 Posted June 23, 2015 RIP... though I can say nothing about him, apparently a good call by the committee. None of the top teams in the DDP picked him, interesting. Guardian link: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/jun/23/chris-woodhead-former-ofsted-chief-dies-aged-68 I am too young to remember him as the head of OFSTED but was impressed by his input in the right to die debate which I always thought was sensible.Bloody good pick by Death list indeed.I hope we have more picks like him next year i.e younger candidates with serious health issues and that aren`t incredibly famous but who`s death is guaranteed to be reported substantially. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had already left school by the time Chris Woodhead was head of OFSTED, a few of my friends were starting out as teachers having just left university. I would often hear about the mess he had made and they were glad when he resigned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,434 Posted June 23, 2015 A slight miscalculation in dropping him from the Pan Breed DDP team, then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imelda 620 Posted June 23, 2015 Ahhh, I take the blame for getting him listed but I'll take the credit now he's hit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshman 31 Posted June 23, 2015 Nags Head I can assure you that you had absolutely nothing to do with him being on the DL. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imelda 620 Posted June 25, 2015 Nags Head I can assure you that you had absolutely nothing to do with him being on the DL. Well I mentioned him on the 'ideas and possibilities' thread the year prior. Then he appeared on the January 2014 list. I like to think that may have helped put his name out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshman 31 Posted June 25, 2015 I can see your thinking, but no he was on the suggestion long-list before that. On the DL FB page there is a photo of the 2013 list and he is there in the suggestions. I do read the ideas and suggestions at the end of every year and (all together now) promptly ignore them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed you do but you'd have 3 more hits by this stage of the year if you'd listened to my suggestions (Ritchie Benaud, Joan Kirner and Gery Leuliet), so there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
