School Head Gerry Mapp has hit out at an Ofsted report which claims primary level teaching in the country "is not good enough".
He was commenting on the Ofsted report which came out just days after the publication of the 2003 key stage two performance tables which showed Mr Mapp's school, St Peter's at East Grinstead, placed 10th in the county with an average points score of 29.4
"It seems particularly unjust because in the past few years Ofsted has moved the goal posts," he said. "Teachers who were once classed as good are now called satisfactory so it means that where they were once judged a success they are now being told they are not."
As the Ofsted report was published yesterday (Wednesday December 10th) he said "It hasn't done a great deal for morale - Ofsted isn't very popular here this morning."
