Thank you as a childminder and a former private nursery manager... its so hard... I hate the ofsted call...
Thank you for caring for our littlest learners ❤️
My main gripe with Ofsted is it's very inconsistent. It'll often find imaginary problems at schools where nothing is really wrong, then fail to stop major safeguarding issues elsewhere. Also the four-year inspections are utterly useless
Sadly reports to Ofsted re concerns about staff in a safeguarding capacity are not taken as seriously as they should be. Therefore other organisations fail to act too
I had a good read of the ofsted report on Caversham primary school and despite leadership and management only being downgraded because of something to do with safeguarding I can safely say that good heavily outweighs the bad. Very sad and tragic😢 I can only hope lessons are learned from what's happened
Why doesn’t the inadequate rating make sense? If you don’t meet the bare minimum in required areas aren’t you inadequate?
We’re there child safeguarding issues? That would seem to fit the problem.
The only changes there that would seem to need to be made would be more inspections and no call before.
My experience with ofsted as a student and then as an early years educator. My secondary school used 'gifted students' to sway the view ofsted had on the school. I distinctly remember that whenever ofsted came to the school ofsted always ended up speaking / bumping into us around the school, even if they didn't do an interview with us. At the time we would talk up the school a lot and speak of things our school did in theory (not in practice) because we knew it would make the school look good. It was only when my younger brother joined the school that I began to see the issues within our school more closely. We had children in top set that got away with atrocities, and no sort of behavior management in place because they knew top set could be trusted to get the grades. An incident I recall was a boy in our class wrote a 5 page story on how he offed our English teacher in gruesome detail and the school did nothing. The teacher left. Our class was often responsible for mistreating teachers to the point of tears sometimes. Nothing would happen because we were top set. My brother was in bottom set due to his autism and need for support. They got the worst teachers and went year by year learning nothing. Just before gcses most of those children were transferred out of our school before gcse's so our school could maintain the 89% average. It was all a big scam lol. My experience with ofsted as an adult is that I worked in a nursery. The nursery wasn't a safe place for children. Constantly severely understaffed which meant the manager opted to hold on to poor employees. We had employees who went as far as to squeeze children , pinch them, emotionally groom them so they would be attached to them and one day we get the 'call'. Overnight the daycare changed from oil to water. All our routines were thrown out , the schedule changed completely and the day ofsted came was a disaster. Despite that the nursery was still allowed to run. I left. I say get rid of the curtsy call and just show up.
Similar story here. A student wrote a "story" in English class after attending an assembly about asylums and how awful they were. He wrote the "story" about me and how I belonged in an asylum. The student usually got good grades but he acted very maliciously with hate. Outside a school environment it would be considered a hate crime, but some willfully-blind numpties sided with him because of the "gifted student" BS. Honestly we need to scrap the gifted student nonscence.
I used to be a GCSE Maths teacher. And I loved teaching but hated all the paperwork which was there simply for the benefit of Ofsted
I've quit and I now tutor instead.
An all too familiar sorry unfortunately 😔
I am in the USA What is GCSE?
@@THomasJPeel Kind of like the SATs I think
Thank you.
@@THomasJPeel You're welcome. Our students usually first take them they are 16.
I'm a childminder on maternity leave and I got an email from them saying they want to come out so I explained to them I just had a baby and I am closed till September and they said doesn't matter we can still come out and honestly it's giving me nightmares and I think about it so much when I'm meant to be relaxing and enjoying my time with my daughter. I just know my phone can go off at anytime
Oh my goodness that doesn't seem right! If you're on maternity leave surely they shouldn't be coming to your setting. Are you part of an agency or can you speak to your local authority for support on this?
Poblem is big
Totally agree that boiling it down to a one word overview is wrong.
Quality of education, development and behaviour all good, but the school is inadequate? What an awful misrepresentation to parents/carers. They'll view school website/prospectus etc and see inadequate when in reality their child would receive a good education from the school.
If anything, that report summary is a red flag for potential teachers looking to work there, not for the students!
Misrepresentation is the word indeed! The one-word judgement can be so misleading. I hope parents and carers will see this video, they need to know how this really works.
Hi.
'Those who can, do. Those who can't teach. And those who can't do or teach, become Ofsted inspectors.' Rather witty, I wonder who dreamt it up, possibly a teacher. What a pity that headteacher couldn't just laugh them off in a similar manner. They weren't worth dying over. At least the poor lady is at peace now.
@6:50 I'm not quite sure. What an inspection like the one you described with the mot rather than scaring people half to death one day of the year would actually do good for the school system. As cynical as it may sound, I wonder if that's the reason they do it that way. May the headteacher's memory be a blessing.
'Scaring people half to death' doesn't help anyone. Labelling a school with one word when it doesn't tell the actual story doesn't help anyone. None of this can possibly reflect the daily running of the school and the quality of education and wellbeing support children receive. We should want to support schools and help them improve if needed.
@@LittleLearnersVideos yeah, that's pretty much where I was going. It seems like a lot of people on top, much like the place where I live like getting off on things like that. Yes, I use that language you will survive. They hide behind phrases such as that's the way it's always been done. Whereas if I said stuff like that I'd be redirected back to the Stone age and bombarded with false positivity
