Ofsted Report
As you know, we had our Ofsted inspection before Christmas. We’ve now had our final report back. You can see it at the link below.
The video below is worth watching first. It’s only 3 minutes and it explains the changes to the new Ofsted framework and what the new standards mean. Single word judgements have now gone and new language is being used.
As you can see from the video, the bar has been raised quite considerably, although I feel the language they are using for the new standards doesn’t really explain where each school is at.
The difference in this framework is now that it’s no longer a ‘best fit’ approach to each area. There are a number of statements to be achieved for each standard, and if you don’t achieve all of the statements, you drop into the standard below.
Have a look.
Igloo!
Year 1 have built an igloo out of cuboids that they made from nets!
