hali Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Thank goodness, at last outr inspector turned up this morning....... lovely lady will be back tomorrow..... Cant tell you how relieved i am its actually happening (strange i know)!!! :wacko: :rolleyes:
HappyMaz Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Fantastic! And she didn't wait til Friday either! Maz
Lucy P Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I'm sure Ofsted inspectors lurk on this forum, it is strange everyone gets inspected straight after posting about it on here!! Glad she's finally arrived Hali, good luck for tommorow.
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 At least you will be able to relax over Easter. A setting in our town has just had an inspection and they received 'outstanding' on all 14 standards with NO actions for improvements. how can that be. Where will they go from here and how can they improve practice. It must be very hard to maintain that standard by everyone until the next inspection.
Guest MaryEMac Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 What a relief Hali. It's a strange feeling isn't it? Hope all goes well tomorrow. Mary
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The comment above reminded me of a question I had regarding "Outstanding" inspection reports. I am sure those settings work very hard as do we all and fully deserve the outstanding, but I have seen a couple of reports where they also stated no actions for improvement. However the last inspector we had said she would never give "no action" as a setting should always be striving to maintain standards and things were always changing. Her words seemed to be well thought out and sensible advice, but clearly not carried through by all inspectors. Has anyone else had any comments on this area from inspectors or LA?
fizzy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Good luck for tomorrow Im sure you have nothing to worry about
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Yippee!!!!!! Hope goes well after your long wait. I got outstanding at my last inspection (Nov 2007) and my Inspector asked me to keep up the good work
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 What a great start to your week Hali, never thought I'd say that about an Inspector arriving Best wishes for tomorrow and enjoy the rest of your week, all over, done and dusted for.....................how long?? Peggy
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Good luck with tomorrow Hali-you must be so relieved. Hope all goes well. Linda

Alison Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 oh Hali I can feel the relief from here 4 years is a long time to wait and I know EXACTLY how you feel, I was quietly going mad with the worry and anticipation of "will they wont they" come with all the great advice you offer I can imagine you have nothing to fear good luck
luluj Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Good luck for tomorrow Hali.Think you will do 'brilliantly.'What a relief! luluj
beth1 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Ummm OFSTED turn up after you mention it on the forum......is big brother watching us???? Well good luck for tommorow, you will be fine. Beth
hali Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 i think they may be wink wink nudge nudge!!!!!
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Having had ours not too long ago I know how you feel! I'm so glad they've finally arrived. Presumably you have got a feel for how things are going already so, relax this evening and don't get too frazzled if you can help it. My daughter was having a dinner party at our house the day ofsted arrived which really helped me take my mind off it all! Let us know how it goes and try not to have busy dreams! God bless
belle06 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Fingers crossed for a super outcome for you and your staff team. I am positive everything will go well
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 :wacko: :rolleyes: Go Hali, Go Hali, Go Hali! :unsure: Good luck,
Deb Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Good luck, have no doubt it will go well, let us know how you get on tomorrow. Thank goodness they have arrived at last, I was beginning to feel your frustration from here! I can certainly feel your relief! Give them the full treatment. Did you put THE poster up? Is that what made Ofsted come.
hali Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 opps no i forgot!!!!! will sneak it in - in the morning!!!!!
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I'm so glad your wait is over. There is no way I'm ready for Ofsted. I don't want them to come anytime soon (I do hope that doesn't mean they'll appear now!) Just a couple of quick questions- the idea of no ofsted's from march til sept- does that include primary schools or just 'early year' settings. Also does anyone know if in a primary school there is a separate section on the final report for the foundation stage of that school? or will there be from sept 08? Good luck for tomorrow Hali! (not that you'll need it!) xx
Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Glad the waiting is finally over for you - all the best for tomorrow!
hali Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 i dont know bethie i just know she giggled when i mentioned no more inspections from end of march!!!!
hali Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 im home and have been told i have to keep the result confidential till the report comes out!!!!! i will just say we did very very very very very very very well :rolleyes: :unsure: and im a very happy bunny :wacko: so thanks to you all for your help and advise over the years - has helped xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
