Ofsted like schools to consult their students and do "student voice" questionnaires.
- ds2 is in yr9 and they duly filled in a questionnaire. Many of them are unhappy about a number of issues in school at the moment, and included these in their questionnaires.
- The school then held an assembly and - among other things - reminded the students that there are other schools, and they could always move if they're not proud to be there.
- Individual students (including my son) who had mentioned individual teachers, members of staff, or the HT had interviews with Head of Lower School or other senior staff to discuss.
- Then today (maybe 6 weeks since the original questionnaire) they had to re-do their questionnaires! And this was done in their form room with their form teacher, the Head of Lower school and the Deputy of Lower school prowling round the classroom, looking over their shoulders to see what they were writing!
It's not just me is it? This is like something from an Orwell novel? I am outraged. Or am I overreacting?
