Do OfSTED inspectors re-draft handwritten notes to suit an overall inspection outcome?
On 21st May 2018 I made a Freedom of Information request to OfSTED for a copy of the evidence base for the inspection of Quintin Kynaston (URN: 137646) which took place on 18 January 2017
(N.b. the OfSTED response stated 2018, which for the sake of accuracy, is incorrect). On the 20th June 2018 (22 working days later!) I received all 145 pages of documentation from the 5 inspectors who spent two days unpicking the work of our school.
So, in the interests of the public, here is
How do you go about getting these? Very interested. Thanks
Really simple. Just email with “Please could I have the inspection notes from XYZ school inspection on XYZ date. Could you also confirm receipt of my email.” Anyone receiving has 21 working days to respond.
Brilliant example of why schools with challenging intakes and the wrong profile must not place over reliance on external evaluation. If the very organisation that is responsible for holding schools to account allows this sort of blatant dishonesty the credibility of the process is a blatant question. Be honest with yourselves and keep focusing on the best for every pupil along side the continuous improvement of the school! Take what you can from inspections !
