I don't think my grade makes any difference to potential parents. The majority of parents who come round haven't even read my report, I give them a link when they come and visit to read it online.
My last two inspections on the otherhand have changed the way I work. At the beginning I was really wanting to please the inspector and I put a lot of effort into trying to achieve an outstanding. Everytime I had an inspection they had just changed the criteria so I could never win. My last inspection was Oct 15 just after they had changed the inspection framework.
After silly feedback from my last two inspectors I've lost the drive to achieve an outstanding so I've relaxed a lot and its not what I work for. I've learnt over the 9 yrs that its all down to what inspector you have on the day, what they like and there's no fairness in it.
I feel like it's comparable to the stall at the fair where you try to knock of a £20 note stuck to a can but they're all stuck down. No matter how hard you try and how much effort you put into winning it, you never can.
Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.
