Chickvic Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Good luck! It'll be fine, we had our OFSTED just after October half term last year. I'm not a teacher and I wasn't bothered at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Licken Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 NOOOOO Good luck cooperwife - and as for the inspectors!!!!! To be honest as long as the SEF is accurate and your results are as expected they don't seem to be that bothered - not like the old style inspection which were hideous.

hillfamily Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Keep smiling Cathy I hope it all goes OK I named one of my tortoises after the last Ofsted inspector I had the 'pleasure' of dealing with I shudder when I think of the inspections I've been through - as Chairman of Governors (no one ever ever ever mention risk assessment of school trips to me again ) and as a Portage Home Visitor (how they ever thought they could assess the equipment used and teaching environment when the 4 year olds were taught in their own homes mainly using their own toys was beyond me and the National Portage Association) Will be thinking of you Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Good Luck Cathy. I know how nerve-wracked my teachers were when they came in last year. My maths teacher was so relieved that on the final day they didn't come in during the last lesson they were there for as they hadn't before...this was because she had the bottom set of my year who are hellish and who she has to put namecards on then desks for so they don't switch.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Fancy arriving now when you've only just got started. Rotten things. Best of luck. Our next one is threatened for before Christmas but our results improved a lot this year so I wouldn't be surprised to see them swooping down in our direction next week...... We're 'up North' Pengy so I'll look out for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizinsa Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ofsted You have my sympathies. GOOD LUCK!!!! Am sure it'll all go well and just think of the glasses, sorry bottles, of wine you can consume on Friday night! At least with these short notice inspections it gets them over and done with, just think of them as if they're a plaster!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 in nurseries you dont get ANY warning, they just turn up!.. am bricking myself as I've never had one before and I hate being watched it puts me on edge I want a nice ofsted inspector, maybe one that loves chickens and wont think I am as mad as a hatter as most people do with me walking around with bunny ears and a feather boa most of the time. supposedly the last one we had was a right mare. (before my time there) we are 'due' anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
