pottedplant   10 #1 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Any other parents spot the clues that Tapton was about to be inspected:  - the clamp down on uniform - the mysterious appearance of new instruction posters around school and - the teachers who have prefernce for jeans beign suited and booted.  And now that the inspectors have arrived :   - the possible influx of supply teachers while others are "rested".

Bludragonfly   10 #4 Posted February 1, 2012 the survey should have been sent home with students today or yesterday so hopefully you have one. You can also phone the school and say you want to speak to an inspector Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pottedplant   10 #5 Posted February 1, 2012 Neither child has a questionnaire (but one has been with a different tutor today........ ). I will try and let Ofsted know my views by other means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

pottedplant   10 #9 Posted February 1, 2012 I did wonder how a parent knew that staff had been 'rested' and that they weren't wearing jeans  The amazed tone of my kids at dinner tonight when they said Mr xxxxx wasn't in jeans today and Miss yyyy has had her hair cut and Mrs zzz is (.........you get it).  Followed by "does every school make the poor teachers stay at home / go to a meeting when Ofsted are here" .........  I say which poor teachers - and they gave me a list.

Nobby Stiles   11 #10 Posted February 1, 2012 (the one that really really irriates me)  - the influx of supply teachers while others are "rested".  Do you actually have any evidence of this other than your kids have said a teacher is off? I find it hard to believe that schools would actually do this.  If they do, they won't be able to pull similar stunts once the no-notice inspections start later this year.
