I'm in the middle of deciding to move my DC's to another school. Current school is Requires Improvement, both potential schools are Good.
I read the Ofsted reports to get an idea of how the school is performing.
However on MN I constantly see that Ofsted reports are regarded as box ticking excercises & not a true reflection of the school. If that's the case then is there any use trying to use them to make an informed choice about a new school (also viewing the school as well obviously). There must be a point to Ofsted but if its not trustworthy then do you disregard it totally?
