DD's school has just been Ofsteded and the report is appalling. The school have not told us it's out or sent a letter home or anything. I found out just by chance checking the holiday dates on the school's site and found a letter from the Head saying if enough people wanted a meeting to discuss the report then she would hold one. You had to print the letter yourself in order to fill in the return slip.
I know there are loads of parents who don't have internet access at home. I know there are some who do, but won't even think of looking, and plenty more who have access but no printer.
I have at least one parent friend who, by his own admission, is barely literate and cannot cope with the internet. I have another parent friend who waits for another friend to come round and download her e-mail and tell her what's in it.
My assumption from this is that a large number of people are not going to know that the report is out, let alone that there is an opportunity to collar the Head about it.
DH says I should e-mail the Head and point out how unfair this is and insist that a copy of her letter is sent home with each child.
I don't really get on with the Head, she's supercilious and patronising and doesn't like giving straight answers. I'm pretty sure that if I contact her, she'll come out with some guff about saving paper.
I do think this is a dishonest way of dealing with a bad report.
