Both of our local secondary schools are RI schools. And yes, OFSTED are not always right, but I hear through the grapevine from people who work in the school, that in these circumstances, they probably are. There is a local outstanding secondary school, but its a faith school and we're not church goers. I'm so bloody pissed off that my dd has to go to crappy schools because I'm not religious and don't have ÂŁ100,000 to spend on her education. I live in a very affluent area with a population that has a higher than average interest in education (University town). These schools have predominantly supportive parents and not don't have "difficult" catchments. They are just not very good schools.
I feel really properly cross about it and am trying very hard to look like i'm excited and pleased for my dd. I'm finding it quite hard. I know I need to get a grip, but I'm jsut having a ranty moment.....

If your child has just been allocated a "requires improvement" secondary school, how do you feel?
