For those of you who read last week’s diary entry and are waiting on tenterhooks to find out the outcome of our short inspection, I can now reveal that...
Ofsted didn’t come back the next day. They’d seen all they needed to see and they said they were happy – our school remains “good”.
The wait to hear the news was excruciating. Not because I was particularly worried about the result, just because I was going to have a lot of work to do that night if they said they were coming in for another day.
I had a five-period day the next day with a double year 11 lesson to start. I wasn’t worried about their books or their data, but I would have needed to spend some time preparing all of the lesson plans and making sure everything satisfied my school’s requirements to be “Ofsted-ready”.
