Rejected petition Stop OFSTED inspections during the last week of school before Christmas or the last week at the end of the school year

More details

STOP OFSTED inspections on the run up to Christmas and end of the school year! How can an inspection that takes place at an inappropriate time be meaningful?

SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. EITHER OFSTED HAS TO MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR NON STANDARD ACTIVITES DURING THOSE TIMES, WHICH COMPROMISES THEIR ASSESSMENT OR TEACHERS WILL BE FORCED TO CANCEL THOSE ACTIVITIES, OR THE TEACHERS WILL BE JUDGED ON A WEEK THAT IS JUST NOT HOW THEY WOULD NORMALLY DO THINGS!

WE ARE ENTITLED TO A CREDIBLE INSPECTION THAT GIVES AN ACCURATE REFLECTION OF OUR SCHOOL!

LET OUR CHILDREN, TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS HAVE A STRESS FREE WEEK TO ENJOY PLANNED CELEBRATIONS AND ACTIVITES...THEY HAVE CERTAINLY EARNED IT!

PLEASE STOP OFSTED INSPECTIONS ON THE RUN UP TO CHRISTMAS AND END OF YEAR!
