People who declare their local state schools to be "rubbish" - anyone care to name them?

I want to read the Ofsted reports. I'm always intrigued that what some people would consider to be a "rubbish" school I would think sounds ok.

I applied to be an Ofsted inspector

Will have a look for the OFsted report of ds1's school in a minute - it had a bad report two times ago, but a better one this time - but I don't think it reflects the school well which is FAB. It does come out as outstanding on the caring sides - things like pastoral care, but as the intake is very mixed the academic side doesn't come out quite so well (still good though) - we are absolutely 100% happy with it though, and academically it's absolutely fine. But reading the report I think you would have a very different impression of the school.

Agree about some areas in Bristol - we are really anxious about secondary as our natural school would be Monks Park. No offence meant to anyone there, but ds1 would SO be a fish out of water there - it's just not what I imagine an education to be.

Dd1's secondary school has just been given an outstanding for their ofsted and all I can say is how the bloody hell did that happen? I don't personally like the ofsted reports and would rather go on gut feeling when you go to see the school and asking other people who have kids there.
