OFSTED: How a school fakes their data. Part6

School1, is truly awful school, inside the M25, which allows abuse of children and assaults on staff, to go unchecked, all to ensure it gets a neraly outstanding marks from OFSTED.  However, School 1 now has stepped across a whole new threshold; failing to report sexual assault.

Recently a young girl was the victim of a a sexual assualt, at the school, by a pupil.

Did the school call the police?

Did the school preserve the scene?

Did the school take every precaution to ensure that a conviction could succeed?

No, No, and No.

They had a quick chat with the victim and offender and sent them both home.

After the school refused to call the police, and delayed medical action, after another student was stamped on in the head, is it a surprise that they feel to deal with sexual assults properly.

This school has near outstanding results for OFSTED, does your child go here? Would you let you child go here? What would it take to get this resolved the entire senior managment is involved in this, and complaints tend to result in losing your job.

OFSTED: How a school fakes their data. Part 5

This is the continuing the series in how a London School, School1, fakes their OFSTED reports, which results in appalling teaching conditions for the children, and a shocking working environment.

School1 is bad, its really bad. Children suffer ABH, but the police are not called. Teachers are assaulted, and need surgery, but the police are still not called. Students have their head stamped on, and suffer head injuries, but are denied immediate access to medical treatment.

All of this is to protect the statistics, to make sure the that school “looks good”, reality is irrelevant, its all about perception and targets.

So how do the school fake it when OFSTED conduct their investigation? The plan is simple as it is dishonest, lie and hide the evidence. The bad students are deleted off the register anyway, so part of the problem is resolved.

But with so many poorly behaved children, and teachers who are unable to control them, how does the school get away with an OFSTED inspection.  Firstly the OFSTED inspect is a couple of days, so its really on cursory, but secondly, and more dishonestly, the school simply tells the bad students and teachers, just to stay away. To not be their during the inspection, out of sight, out of mind.

Once the inspection has been successfully faked, the chaos can continue, the kids walking around school playing football, smoking, and telling the staff to fuck off, all during class time can continue. It seems that staff locking themselves in a class room, for their own safety is OK, as long as OFSTED does not find out.

OFSTED: How a school fakes their data. Part1

OFSTED, the UK Goverment’s school watchdog is supposed to protect childrens’ education, through investigations, recording, and monitoring a schools performance.

Over the next few days and weeks, this site will show how these numbers are faked in some instances and, more importantly, how these children are, quite literally, put in danger. E.g. Ambulances not being called for children with head injuries, sexual abuse unreported.  It appears that the OFSTED system of investigation is slightly less reliable than MPs Expenses claims.

But like the  MPs, it is the Schools and Heads at fault, not the system.

In the first part of this series, we will look at one school which, for legal reasons, we will only identify as School1 at the moment.  Though in the future, the name of the School1 should be identified.

School1 it is inside the M25, is has a fairly large student population, a 0ver a thousand pupils. Its OFSTED rating, is pretty good, just below Outstanding, and its certainly not on special measures. So, from the outside, it seems a reasonable place to send your child.  But, this is simply not the case.

The scores are faked by the School, mainly through the senior staff conducting a a series of measures that can only be described as fraud. The incidents that occur at the school are truly awful, but by “following the rules” and ‘bending’ them, more than a little bit, School1 is able to get away with virtually anything they want. Below are some of the highlights of events that have occurred in this school:

• A pupil (child) was sexually abused, at school, by a pupil and the police were not called.
• A teacher was hit over the head,  twice, with a chair requiring surgery to his ear by a pupil. The child who did that is still in school and  the police were not called. Bad for the statistics
• A teacher was hit in the face with a brick by a pupil. The child is still at the school, and the police were not called. Bad for statistics.
• Children are allowed out of exams, for significant periods 30 minutes to an hour, unmonitored, and then back into the exam room exam. That has to help the exam statistics.
• Pupils that cause real problems are deleted off the register, therefore resolving that statistical problem.
• A child, Boy J, is repeatedly assaulted, and the victim of ABH, but the school does not call the police
• Ambulances and Police are not allowed to be called without the heads permission, to try and reduce the number of calls to school (to help the statistics). It is this latest incident, that is reported below.

This month a child, who recently had lost part of their sight  as a result of  being the victim of another incident in the school, was stamped on the head by another pupil. The child was clearly in truma, with a stamp mark on his face, possible bleeding from the eye, and all the warning signs of head truma that a lay person would spot. This was not kids playing this was a stamp to the face. This incident alone is awful, but at the school, which  is so used to violence,  nothing was done for quite a while.

The parents were not called for some time, despite requests by junior staff for this to be done, and the police where not called at all.

But most concerning is the ambulance was not called for 20 minutes, as staff had to follow school policy (or effectively lose their job). For 20 minutes the child was left, untreated, with no ambulance being called until the Head, who is not a doctor, or a medical proffesional, gave the all clear to call an ambulance. Only then, when the Head decided it was ok for an ambulance to be called, was proffesional medical treatment sought.

Would you want your child to go to this school?

This week more such incidents, and how School1 fake their OFSTED results, will be published.
