Basically a primary school in Devon in its last Ofsted got a 'Good'. They obviously want 'Outstanding', and the only two recommendations offered by Ofsted in 2010 were:
- keep up the improvements in Years 1 and 2
- give you even more opportunities to find out about how people live in different parts of the United Kingdom and in other countries.
(They also add that 'pupils' understanding of multicultural issues is underdeveloped')
So they are being packed off to Hounslow to visit a school where most children are not white and have English as a second language.
AIBU to think this is patronising, and that they would not suggest that children in say Southall learn that their community is not remotely representative of most of the country, and that they should be slightly embarrassed at this fact and be sent off for re-education?
