Just wondered if anyone had ever disagreed with their Ofsted Inspection? I have had big problems with my inspector and she didnt look at any of my resources despite the kids being asleep for two hours of her 2 1/2 hour visit.
She based her whole visit on my SEF which is three months out of date as I submitted it the first time she was meant to have come. :angry:
I really dont feel happy with my grade what can I do?

Firstly a big hug :group hug: go on Ofsteds website and type in complaints about Ofsted Form into the search bar, state what you have improved upon since you wrote your SEF (last inspection if applicable). I hope this helps and good luck, let me know what happens :thumbsup:

Ring Ofsted and ask them the complaints procedure against your inspection. Do it quick or the report will be posted.

I disputed my report - the wording not the grade. But, it is still published while they investigate the complaint unless you are disputing something factual.

Good luck.

I disputed findings after a malicious complaint. I found they listened and were very supportive.

Definitely if you feel wronged you should do something - you are stuck with a report you are unhappy with for 3 years otherwise.

Hugs xx

i have just gone through a complaint with ofsted about my inseption and the wording of my complaint.

Most of my complaint wasn't up held as it was my word against his!!!:angry: even though my husband was here.

But the wording in my report was so wrong and he didn't have the evidance to back it up that i am being re-inspected.
i just e-mailed ofsted a full letter of complaint and they took it from there.

Let us no how it goes.

I too had a terrible inspection yesterday. She gave me satisfactory based on my inexperience and that I would get a good/oustanding next time if I continued. I disagreed because surely they cant mark me down because of inexperience it was my first inspection - how much experience do they expect me to have.

Anyway, my network co ordinator is supporting me to make a dispute against it. she expected me to get at least a good if not an outstanding.

Really dont want to go through another inspection though, but I suppose I will have to.
