Dear Ofsted

 Dear Ofsted,

You do realise that you have made everything so much worse?

That poor family, who lost a loved one because she couldn’t bear the shame of the judgement you made of her.

You told the world that she was inadequate so she killed herself, her family say.

After her death, you revisit and now the school, the same school, the same school, reeling from the tragic death of its beloved head teacher, you now say is ‘good’. 

You’ve moved the school up two levels of rating.

And what has changed?

Only one thing.

Well done Ofsted. 

Raising standards by destroying lives

I can’t help thinking that are kinder ways to remove headteachers you believe to be inadequate.

I was neutral about Ofsted but now I do not know why anyone would let them into their school.
