An Inspector Calls..

[George Stewart]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to make you aware that I will have some slightly reduced activity this evening, tomorrow and Friday.  Ofsted arrived at work yesterday, with 20 Inspectors across 7 campuses.  My area is due for a hammering tomorrow and Friday morning and as a middle manager, I expect to have some level of significant contact with them.  I am already aware that at 4:20pm this afternoon, they selected 3 of my learners to see tomorrow at 13:15pm and they want the learner, all their files, targets, Education Plans, and a case study.  I'm also being observed in the afternoon. 

That was a lot of blahhhhhhh, sorry.  I'll be around, just not as much until the end of Friday/Saturday morning.

Thank you! We definitely need luck, we've never had 20 Inspectors before. We've usually had around 8 or 9, but we've been led to believe that they are trying a slightly new inspection framework which means that each campus will also have its own rating. So there are 2 campus-specific Inspectors and then some Lead Inspectors for specific areas such as Special Needs, Outcomes for Learners etc...

It definitely sounds like tons of fun...
