She called this morning at 8.30. Seemed really friendly, said she had some bad news - she was coming to do an inspection. Then she asked how many children I have and I said I couldn't talk now because I had to leave on the school run. Could she call back later. This seemed to annoy her and she said she wasn't sure, but she would try. I then asked her to call back in the evening, since I needed to discuss things with her and I couldn't do that during working hours.

I think I've blown my inspection before she even walks through the door.

And when she does call back, I'm going to be quite demanding about how she needs to behave on the day of the inspection to minimise upset for one of my mindees. She's going to need to sit in a corner and not let the child see her looking! And if she could do the inspection with her eyes closed (SENCO advice) that would be GREAT!

She's gonna hate me.
