My DC primary school had an ofsted inspection on Tue. It is a "good" rated school and we were told it would be the standard one day inspection.
We're in London, so on Tuesday the temp was 31 degrees. It was 28 in my sons class in the dark with blinds closed! Apparently things didn't go well- teachers and pupils really struggling in the heat, 2 children fainted, things were generally difficult.
On wed they came back with 5 inspectors. Temp hit 33 in the playground.
How worried should we be? I don't know anything about the process. I'm not concerned about the school- I think my three children are getting a great education there, but a poor ofsted will cripple us. We're a school that manages a really high proportion of FSM and ESL and does well BUT we're surrounded by much naicer schools in areas of £1m+ housing... a poor ofsted will mean that we'll no longer get the social mix we have as the parents who can will vote with their feet....
if the report is bad what are the options?
