Ds is a very bright boy, he's ahead in maths/english/science by a couple of years or so. I moved him to the local state school last year for various reasons, mainly so he could make friends where we live. Things really didn't work out well for him (there's a thread or two somewhere on MN), he was bullied, work was far to easy so I pulled him out. When he left he was sent home with the 'work' he had done (all of three bits of paper and a painting) but for some reason they kept all of his maths and english. He was only there for a term and a half and really did learn nothing. They are having an Ofsted inspection some time this year and it concerns me that they have ds's work in the subjects he excelled in when he was elsewhere but not there. I suspect that they are using his work to show how 'good' the school is, ds has told me that they are using his work to show prospective parents evn though they know that he already knew all of this before he joined them. What do you all think??

When we were Ofsteded in the autumn term 18 months ago the inspectors asked to see certain samples of work from the last year's Y2 classes - I understand they picked at random from across the levels, to check they'd been assessed robustly. They certainly seemed to want many of the Level 3s and the school was on the phone to parents asking them to bring the books back in.
