One of the good things over here is how there are teaching assistants in just about every class in this country.
Bad thing is how SATS and GCSE are still being carried out inspite of the fact that the majority of heads have told Ruthy the tests are crap.

Originally posted by MailmanSchools are rated by the education board (similar to oftstead reports) and the ratings take in more than mere exam results.
While the school will receive a rating between 1 (being worst performing) and 10 (highest performing) the ratings are used by the Government to determine which school needs the most help. Tables certainly arent published like they are here.
Having said that, kiwis understand that a decile 1 school can actually still be a very good school.

Sorry, they could not have tables for cleanliness or sportiness as they've sacked all the cleaners and sold off all the playing fields.
There again, this is the New Lie we're talking about, they could deem these things I guess.

If enough people's priority for a school were friendliness, sportiness or cleanliness, that information will be unearthed and turned into a table too. Then we'd have people complaining about that.
There is nothing we can do about tables, other than try and hide the figures.

Clean and tidy
Some of the reasons I chose the school my kids go to were a friendly receptionist and clean classrooms. Not been proved wrong yet. And yes Mrs Goof those tables are tiny.

Keep it quiet though.
I've heard there's a guy with a shop in Bracknell who might be in the market for some if the price is right and the brass inkwell covers are still in place.
