The Secret Life of Teachers - 2. The Ofsted Inspection

Host Mehreen Baig welcomes a new group of teachers to her virtual staffroom to discuss how they really feel about Ofsted inspections. What is the purpose of these inspections and who are the people behind the Ofsted badges? Can the word that puts dread into the hearts of teachers across the country really claim to be an effective way of monitoring our nation's education system? And is it helpful for the inspectors be a presence in schools so soon after the big return to classrooms?
