I used to be Chair of Governors at the school, briefly, while we sought someone with appropriate skill-set who could do an infinitely better job than me. I then stepped down after the GB had found its great Chair and as a result of my crazy workload.
I've just heard that ofsted are coming. We have been asked as parents to comment on the school.
I want to write a letter in addition to parent view because the PV questions are really narrow IMO. But will it look dodgy if I write positive comments given my previous relationship with the school? Even though those views are representative of how I really feel and given that I am no longer a governor and no longer know more about the background than the next parent?
I could get my husband to write a letter instead. But was wondering if anyone knew whether if I or he writes, and Ofsted have sight of GB minutes and put names together, they will think I'm trying to be sly? Or am I overthinking this?
Think part of the reason I'm wary is that I feel desperately for the teachers/head dealing with inspection which has come at a rotten time (not in terms of school being in a poor state, but to do with school journey).
