zigzag Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 May sound like a stupid question, but I have been working under the impression that Ofsted never do inspections on a Friday!! Is this correct or is it just a myth? I think I was once told that Fridays was the day that they complete paperwork!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Definitely had a Friday - which was also our last day of the Spring Term! She couldn't give feedback until the first week of the Summer Term! Deep Joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargrower Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 3pm? That's a bit late in the day!! Yes, we had a Friday at the beginning of the autumn term (now that's just cruel!) It wasn't a great experience, so I ended up being very glad it was a Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosepetal Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hello Zigzag, I can totally confirm Ofsted inspect on a Friday as we have had ours on a Friday this month. The inspector was professional but really friendly and made us all feel very much at ease. We can't discuss the outcome as still waiting for the report to be completed. The inspection is different from the old inspections as they are observing practitioners practice into how they deliver the EYFS, how do they assess, track and plan next steps for children's learning, safeguarding, leadership skills, outdoor learning opportunities, peer observations, parents in partnership are amoungst some of the things we had to show. We did notice if the inspector observed an area of the EYFS she did not tend to ask questions about it. We seemed to be asked questions and asked for evidence to be shown of things she was unable to observe on the day. Once we all got over the shock of the inspector turning up we just got on with everything we do on any other day. The experience was as lovely as it can be when you are being inspected. Hope this helps. Rosepetal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
