Ofsted


Thanks to Sal from Sal's Snippets who told me about this poem.  
This sums up last week.


There's only one F'in Ofsted,
But that's quite enough for us.
If there's no F'in lesson plan,
There's one hell of an F'in fuss.

There's an F'in form to fill in,
For everything that's said.
There'll be no F'in future,
If that fails to please the Head.

Sounds like one F'in photocopier
Has died from overheat.
There's no F'in chance at all
To keep the worksheets neat.

There's no F'in inspector
When your lesson is first rate,
And there's no F'in good excuse
To explain why you were late.

There should be an F'in handbook
For everything to do.
Tell the R.I. you left it
For light reading in the loo.

There's no F'in parking space,
For half the F'in staff,
"RESERVED" for F'in Ofsted
Who have the last F'in larf.

There's no F'in spiritual,
Or cultural education.
No F'in equality,
But much in differentiation.

There's only one F'in Ofsted,
With its "Education Speak".
Thank God there's an F'in Friday
To end the F'in week.

Absolutely brilliant! I am SOOOO glad I am out of that world. Younger Daughter has an LA Advisory inspection at her school this week - in preparation for the OFSTED inspection that they are due for soon. It keeps a lot of people in jobs, that's for sure.
