I've read these posts with interest. I am not a Head teacher, teacher nor Ofsted Inspector. Ofsted inspections are conducted against an inspection framework, this details what is and how it is to be inspected. The Head and management team will no doubt have developed an action plan they are working on to address the "weaknesses" identified in the report. This is likey to be happening behind the scenes so immediate improvements may not be seen, but they will all be working very very hard to improve the provision. If it was me I'd want to show some "quick wins " and then concentrate on the bigger harder issues that need to be resolved. It will be in their own interest, the children?s and parents that they (the management team and staff) successfully implement the plan and demonstrate continuous improvements that will allow them to progress upwards from the current bench mark of satisfactory provision when next inspected (and probably in three years time). It's probable inspectors will return to see how the school are progressing, especially as it has moved from Outstanding to Satisfactory provision over a three year period between inspections. This is a long time and things change like staff coming and going, so standards will unfortunately fluctuate. As an example a change of leadership bringing different leadership and management styles can impact on how a school is run. The Head will want to turn things around quickly and return to Good and then Outstanding provision. If the Head is responsible to a board of Governors/PTA they will want to see improvements, as they set strategy and measure progress towards achieving milestones, targets and standards. Good luck to all at DKH.
