We have just been informed that OFSTED will inspect Chaucer School on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd March 2023. The lead inspector is Richard Jones, His Majesty’s Inspector.
We have been asked to share the following information with you:
We would like to know what you think about your child’s school. Your views about the school are important to us.
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted's online survey, Ofsted Parent View, at: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Ofsted Parent View asks for your opinion on some aspects of your child's school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child's school.
To register your views, you will need to provide your email address, which will be held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.

I know from meeting with families, from listening to parent voice that we receive in person and online, from listening to students and from listening to staff, that the changes we are making are both sensible and desired as we move forwards in our journey of improvement for Chaucer School.
