Ofsted 2019

Dear Parents and Carers of The Dassett C of E primary School.

Tomorrow The Dassett will have an Ofsted Inspection under the Section 8 of the Education Act.

The Ofsted Inspector will be in school during the day and will arrive by 8:00am. He will be available to speak to on the playground from 8:30 onwards.

The link below will take you to a leaflet that will explain the process. The leaflet and an accompanying letter have also gone home in hard copy with the children today.

Notice for our Pupils

I have included, in the NEWS section of the website, a link to a survey that children can complete. It is as follows:

Ofsted is inspecting your school, and would like to hear your views. You can do this by completing an online pupil questionnaire at the following link: https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Pupil/10088413

Your views are really important to us, and will help inspectors understand your experience of school. The questionnaire will close at 11am on 09 April 2019, to give the inspector time to look at the results. The questionnaires work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 11, and on mobiles and tablets when you copy and paste the link into the browser.

We do not ask for your name, so you will not be identified from the responses you make.

Privacy notice

During the inspection of your school, the inspectors will collect information about staff and children at the school by looking at school records, responses to the pupil survey and responses to the staff survey where appropriate, and observing the everyday life of the school. No names will be recorded but some of the information may make it possible to identify a particular individual. Ofsted uses this information to prepare its report and for the purposes set out in its privacy policy. Ofsted will not publish any information that identifies an individual in the report but may name the headteacher and the chair of the appropriate authority.

More information is available in Ofsted privacy notice:
