Charles Clarke Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 While history had seen a 21% improvement (proportion of lessons judged very good or excellent for 11-14 year olds by Ofsted) the increase in the case of design and technology was 8%. At the moment 81% of PE lessons were rated very good or excellent, compared with only 59% of those in modern foreign languages. Overall, the system is quite unreliable if you are a pupil or a parent. It's not quite hit and miss, but it's almost hit and miss whether your classroom teacher is working rigorously and systematically to improve the classroom experience for every child. We are making progress and everyone in the profession should give themselves a small pat on the back. But this is happening in rather a varied way - and we need a more systematic approach.

Jean Walker Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I was hoping someone would answer the question I posted on the Special Needs thread about inspections, but perhaps it was in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
