I know OFSTED can sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's got to be pretty poor to get 4s across the board. The HT is insisting it's not a fair representation Hmm

Just had a look at the report and in the findings there was a comment that poor behaviour at playtimes wasn't apprpriately dealt with and followed up. It say that this is what prompted the inspection:

"This inspection was carried out in response to two complaints made to Ofsted which raised serious concerns. The complaints were deemed to be qualifying complaints and Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector decided that an inspection should be brought forward to follow up whole-school issues that were raised. Inspectors sought to establish whether: safeguarding procedures are adequate, including the response to pupils presenting challenging behaviour
suitable adjustments are made to behaviour management procedures according to pupils’ needs and disabilities
staff are suitably trained and able to seek advice and support when required
leaders and managers are effective in monitoring and evaluating policy and practice for behaviour management and safeguarding in the school."

It's a bit bloody frightening, isn't it?

I guess it is comforting to know that Ofsted DO occasionally listen to complaints from parents.
