I was interested to read that the West London Free School, brainchild of Gove’s sycophant Toby Young only achieved a “Good” in their latest OfSted. Considering all the money poured into it, the strict vetting system used for entrance and the close connections to “him on high” not a particularly marvellous one. However, I’m sure if most high schools had these comments on their OfSted eports they would be deemed “Requires Improvement” not “Good” “It is not yet an outstanding school because Occasionally, teachers do not use assessment information well enough to make sure work meets the needs of all pupils. Sometimes teachers do not mark books frequently enough. This means that advice that clearly identifies the next steps for pupils to take is not given and/or acted upon. Subject leaders have yet to put in place enough opportunities for pupils to investigate and find things out for themselves. Procedures for improving teaching are relatively new and carried out at a senior level. Subject leaders need further training to lead and develop teaching as the school and their departments grow.” And of course Young is now applauding the devil’s spawn Gove’s declarations that the teaching day ought to be longer. I dare say that if the majority of teachers could knock off at five or five thirty they’d love it.
