The missus is expecting the inspection letter any day now. I have reassured her by telling her she should be inspection ready at all times. Not impressed.

You get a letter to tell you you are going to be inspected? Very good.

The teachers can confirm but I think you get a few weeks notice.

If that's the case you better start learning how to cook etc cos you'll be doing it for a month or so after the letter arrives.

Weekends and all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember being in a school staff room one day and I seen on the noticeboard a non-too-serious guide on using the right words at parent teacher meetings. The one I remember is: Say to them "Your son is trying really hard at his work..." but what you really want to say "Your son is as thick as shit!"

" Wee Joe works well at his level"

The Educating Essex show on channel 4 gives a great insight into the goings on in a secondary school in England. The head teacher/deputy head are fab imo. Such a good team.

Any primary teachers know where i could do a course on linguistic phonics?

maggie · October 14, 2011, 08:49:22 PM

A friend of mine did the linguistic phonics training over the summer through the beelb, if you look up their website, they might still be doing some training days on it. Think it was about £50 because she wasn't attached to a school.

Cheers maggie. Can't find that course anywhere. Any other courses you recommend doing?
