Furious with how they've always judged schools on their 'raw scores?' On exam outcomes not taking into account the challenges facing the population of the school, the ability of the pupils, their socio-economic background, the ridiculous funding discrepancies? Oh yes.
Having worked in a poorly performing comprehensive that was working its socks off with struggling families, loads of FSM and PP pupils, parents who didn't value education, very low funding due to demographics and geography, that Ofsted ranked RI because its % of 5x A* - C was below average, I was bloody furious.
I now work in a lovely environment, a grammar school with rich and involved parents, a hugely successful PTA and a member of staff who is employed solely to fundraise. Of course its lovely, and of course its Ofsted outstanding. Which school actually was doing a better job? There's just no comparison.
So now the struggling comprehensive will be judged on what? The fact that it uses its ancient minibus to pick up school refusers and persistent absentees to get them to school? That the staff hold a collection each Christmas to provide a few presents for some of the most deprived pupils, calling it a 'prize for trying hard' so as not to embarrass them? I doubt it.
I bloody hate Ofsted. Rant over.
