It has arrived.
'It' being the brown envelope that all schools dread, the friendly warning from Ofsted that they are visiting your school in the near future. We are a small village school that has had a disastrous past three years, five different acting heads etc etc. Consequently they have been in a 'failing school' - not bad enough for special measures, but bad enough for the county to be putting lots of training into the staff- most of whom are leaving.... DOH!
Oh well, be prepared for a boring few months here, I shall be dusting things, displaying things, squeezing items of work out of children and then some!
I must buy in the gin and cranberry juice in bulk. What time does Sainsbury's close and will you buy me some more cranberry juice please Harriet?
