Quoting Ofsted in advertising - advice needed

[Pennies]

I'm devising some advertising for the pre-school I work in and we were recently given our Ofsted inspection in which we were graded as good.

However, within the report the phrase "outstanding commitment" was used and I was wondering if I can put this phrase onto my poster, in quotes of course.

Would this be erroneously making people think we had an outstanding grade? If so, is that a Bad Thing.

Obviously I don't want to mislead, but of course I want to portray our school in the best possible light.

I would go along the lines of "rated good by Ofsted with outstanding committment".

'Outstanding Commitment' Ofsted report 2009

Leading people to believe you have an Outstanding grade is a Bad Thing I'm afraid - Ofsted gives guidance to Oustanding providers on how they can advertise that fact and they have a special logo to use, etc. If they find someone advertising themselves "above their station" they have taken action before (usually a strongly worded letter advising you of the potential action they might take if you don't stop!).

From my own view I'd say Chellesgirl's suggestion is skirting a bit close to suggesting you have Oustanding overall, while Captainpig's suggestion makes it totally clear you have a Good rating overall, with specific Oustanding bits. I'd say that was safer!

Why dont's you give ofsted a call or email pennies and ask them what you could put and ask them for thier guidelines?
