| I feel that I cannot waste time and energy about the reasons behind the Ofsted rating, or any speculations around 'a deal' by the regional director and the government agenda to academize. While i take on board all the concerns raised around Ark, i feel it is a little too late for us to just sit around and wait for a new sponsor now. From what I've read so far, we all agree that a change is needed. So let's make this change happen now and then work within the newly proposed structure to make sure it is as close as possible to what we believe in. If put together, we can be a much stronger force and I'm sure we can influence things. Meetings and visits are to take place soon and I hope we'll be in a much clear place after those. Re young NQ teachers- both of my children attended a very sought after primary school with a great reputation, staffed by NQ teachers who would mostly see the schol year through and either go back to their native country or progress to a different school. My kids loved the young vibe, the nurturing and energetic teachers, the calm and relaxed approach and the diversity in terms of cultural and life experiences shared by their teachers. So, while I appreciate how difficult this may be for the existing AHS teachers, please don't take it out on our kids by striking and dragging the school's reputation even deeper through the mud! |
