Ofsted outcomes

[Piggywaspushed]

Ok, so were Offstood (I know that isn't the right past tense) and no one outside of SLT knows result. Is this normal? Last full inspection was years ago when we were told the next day but things may have changed. It's an odd feeling.

I guess those school have got a lot better since they were inspected and will be reinspected up to good ( in fact this would describe my DS's school)

We hadn't been done since 2008 , so knew we were due the minute our results appeared to dip.

That graph only shows judgements made in schools inspected since P8 came in. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Noblegiraffe - even Oustanding schools get inspected. Generally if your results are good they’ll leave you alone for longer though.

The good progress/inadequate Ofsted would most likely be safeguarding issues, which can immediately put you into Special Measures.

Ah right if it's only 1 school that makes more sense - it looked really odd when no 'above average' schools were inadequate!

I know Outstanding schools can be inspected, that's what I meant by being unlucky. When I was in an outstanding school that was inspected, it was triggered by concerns and they came in looking to downgrade.

Still, nearly 10 years since an inspection, there must be hardly any of the same staff there!

School Ofsted in March, one day inspection, extended to two days, we weren’t told the outcome for over a month (a long month of intensely analysing the Head’s every word and expression for a clue!). Turns out we had retained our ‘good’ rating. I moved to a new school in Sept and we were inspected this week, one day inspection only so we are tentatively assuming we have retained our ‘good’ status also although it is utterly infuriating not to be actually told!

and for Piggy and any other recently-inspected. Bloody awful times.
