We had a choice of two schools, one with an outstanding Ofsted and the other with a satisfactory one but it was out of date and the head had changed since the last inspection.
For several reasons we chose the satisfactory one (main one being it was much, much closer to home).
The new Ofsted report has just come out and is no better.
We'd spoken to friends with kids at the school and they are happy but Ofsted clearly are unimpressed. One major specific issue raised is the teaching is too formal and outdated, another is something we knew hadn't changed about the infrastructure and were fine with.
Worrying that we've made the wrong decision now....can anyone reassure me?!?
