As you can probably guess, DD is PFB and so I have no experience on whether the Ofsted results are really majorly impacted by the standards in the school.
When I read the detailed reasons why the school is currently not 'Outstanding' it seems to be based around the teachers, the fact that they are not giving sufficient feedback to the children when marking their work and the children have not been given sufficient time to understand where they went wrong and to put it right.
Having been an outstanding school for 6 years, I have no doubt that the school are addressing this, but would I be within my rights to ask what they're doing to address it?
I don't want to be one of those annoying parents who is always moaning and whinging (and even when I'm complaining about something - I apologise for it because I hate doing it...), but we've actually chosen a school which logistically could cause us problems because it's out of our catchment, because they had an outstanding Ofsted and had a small intake (a little village school).
DD loved the school when we went to see if and two of her friends from her pre-school are going there so she won't be alone. So should I be worried about these latest developments, or just let it go?
