Guest Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I read somewhere that just before a settings inspection your SEF becomes inaccessible, is this true? Quote
Guest sn0wdr0p Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Well it's news to me. Never heard that before. Quote
Fredbear Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I think some other members have said that in the past, but I'm not sure that is the case now under the new framework. Quote
Guest ShelleyT Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I was told that at our Ofsted training. Quote
Stargrower Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 At one point when we were due an inspection I was checking a couple of times a day. It didn't work, as our SEF was never made inactive and Mrs O turned up anyway! That was a few years ago though. Quote
Guest Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Ive never heard of that one, but I have heard that Ofsted do monitor how often you update the SEF. If you update it regulary, it keeps them happy! Quote
Guest Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 not good for me then as I haven't done one! Quote
Mouseketeer Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Finally arrived today.....all went well, but she hadn't seen my sef which I submitted about 3 months ago as it 'hadn't been passed to her' after all that effort too :z Quote
Guest Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Oh Mouse, i hope you marked her down a grade! makes a mockery of it all! They'd be a tad unhappy with me if the post above is true - not updated for a while - waiting for the changes to settle down! :rolleyes: :blink: Quote
Guest Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 My manager has said this too. that when they are about to come you are unable to access your SEF. We are due now and she was told by an OFsted inspector at another one of our settings, that if you had good or outstanding then your more likely to be heading towards a 4 year gap not 3 year, has anyone else heard of this?

Mouseketeer Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 focused on a couple of children, asked 3 staff where we felt the same child was regarding eyfs stage, luckily we all gave same answer, very focused on next steps being easily recognisable in LJ,s (but from reading some of same inspectors previous reports thats obviously their thing) all seemed very rushed, but didnt arrive till late, spoke a fair bit about it not being acceptable under new eyfs for committees or owners to say 'we employ the manager too', carried out a joint observation which i then had to feedback the good practice shown and suggest what they could have done, looked at accident book, initial child profile, spent a lot of time with both the chair and myself looking at recruitment processes, and staff qualificataions as well as development, also looked at risk assessments and fire drills, but not to stressful at all really 1 Quote
