Rafa Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well thats over! Went well really, but first had to call my Manager back from an Integrated Health Meeting!! She thought I was JOKING!! Nooooo! Mrs O was very affable - the whole inspection was pretty relaxed. She was very focused on the quality of teaching and unfortunately picked us up on a couple of 'missed opportunities'. However she was very complimentary about our setting, empathised with the trials of being a packaway setting and said quote: If there was a Very Good judgement then you would have it! (if only)! So we are Good and I'm content with that! She also said we don't need to keep the judgement quiet until the report comes out anymore.... So your the first to know! ha ha. Looking forward to that glass of red...... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yay!

Ha yes, I remembered you saying that when our inspector made that call! The word Variable springs to mind! She said Ofsted have decided that as 'so few settings query the judgements now there is no need to wait for the report!'. So guess the feeling is we all just about beaten now! ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Sunnyday I must have missed this, hope it went well for you. Rafa well done on your inspection, we also had a missed opportunity, which I was kicking myself about after!! Would be nice if they had a grading between good and outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Could you give us an idea of what she thought were the missed opportunities? Yes I can! My manager was leading a group and said: Lets find out whos turn it is to do the 'tick tock' - her name begins with 'S'.....children offer Sarah! Yes its Sarahs turn! Ofsted said missed opportunity to say "What other words begin with 'S'. (doh!) And..... adult setting the scene for an obstacle course - didnt invite childrens input? ( double doh!) And......adult said: Thats 12 children here today! Child said Vxxx isnt here today! She replied No he has Chicken Pox! Ofsted said missed opportunity to have said.....And how many would there have been if Vxxx had been here? So STAY ON YOUR TOES!!! Think on your feet and don't miss a Trick! : ) x Everydays a Learning Day! Edited March 18, 2015 by Rafa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not put anything to that effect in all the billions of updates we get...I'm rather of the opinion that it is not so. The report still has to go through QA and can be challenged and changed based on her evidence submitted. Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cx Actually this did happen to us at our 2011 inspection and we were given an extra Outstanding! It's was under the old system where you were judged over many points So sometimes it can be to our advantage :1b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
