Progress Progress Progress…

How do I know this? Because I recently had the pleasure of one of them. In September no less! It’s a tough schedule that’s for sure. It’s taken me a while to get my head around since the previous inspection but the long and short of it is all Ofsted cares about is children’s progress.
