My kiddies school has just been OFSTEDed and according to my daughter is got Satisfactory - am I right in thinking that this is 1 up from poor - last time they got Good - going tomorrow to have a look at another school for DS [DD has only got till July and then she finishes there]

I wonder how many people realise that the OFSTED inspection criteria changed last year and what was good under the old system would now be judged as satisfactory. It's very likely that nothing much has changed at the school and if you have no complaints (and your children are happy there), then why change? You could wait a few weeks for the inspection report to be published to parents so that you can see the reason for the judgement, as well as the action plan for the school. A judgment of satisfactory doesn't mean that the school is close to being poor - it may have narrowly missed the 'good' category. OK - best get off my soap box now. I hope I've not offended you.

Not too bad today - home just after 5pm after a quick stop-off at the vet's for some worming tablet for Small Cat (which were ground and mixed with her food). Fed cat, fed DSs, strained chicken stock in SC and put bits of chicken in a bowl for tomorrow. Hoovered LR, emptied and re-loaded DW, WM on, washed pans, wiped clear work surface and hob, fed DH and myself and gave him and friend a lift to club. Spent a bit of time with DS2 before getting him ready for bed. I'd hoped to do a HHC in the kitchen as well as a HHI and some work, but I don't know where the time went. Just going to make a cuppa and going to bed.

Hugs, spoons and sticks all around. x

MrsC - thanks for the info - I was already looking at other schools before this inspection - children were told in assembly what the rating was but no info was sent home so I just wanted to know what Satisfactory was, thanks
