They’re something akin to the bogeyman,
Green with pussing warts,
Ready to pounce at your first wrong move,
In for the kill with teeth flashing wildly –
Watch your back, you’ve a hell of a lot to prove.
We finally got the call from OFSTED today, so everyone was running around likecrazy people getting ready to have everything gone through with a fine tooth comb.
OFSTED have come under a bit of pressure recently as a headteacher killed herself after her school was downgraded to Inadequate. There were some heads who actually turned the inspectors away when they arrived last summer.
We are definitely letting them in and our Senior Leadership Team seem pretty confident that all will be well. I just have this image of the inspectors being like firebreathing dragons or ogres in suits. I’m sure I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Much Love

Ooooh, accreditation visits! They also loom so much, don’t they? Enough to give everyone anxiety attacks if you let them. I hope your visit goes well. I’ve found that accreditation visits often go a lot better than everyone is afraid they will.
