It's finally finished!! I love it and can't wait to get it deep cleaned over the weekend. Then comes the good bit deciding what colour to paint the walls and choose the flooring. Should I match with the kitchen or go completely different?
We heard yesterday at 12pm precisely that we're getting our "special visitors" in 2 weeks. Yep, His Majesty's Inspectors of Education are finally descending on us after waiting several years. When I got the job in my school 7 years ago I was told their visit was imminent. So for the next 2 weeks in school it's all go making sure our paperwork is flawless, our displays are immaculate and our kids are well briefed on behaviour. I think only 1 out of these 3 is humanly possible in my classroom!!
May the force be with you! Catriona
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks :-)
DeleteKeeping my fingers crossed that all goes well with the inspector's visit.
ReplyDeleteLove the looks of the newly renovated space.
God bless.
I'm sure it'll be fine. Still got the clean up to do this weekend :-)
DeleteOusted visited our secondary school in November.A day's notice to transform the school into an oasis of calm with no visual evidence of the atrocious behaviour we are forced to endure on a daily basis. Beautiful workbooks handpicked, none of those thrown across the room or without any effort to copy the date were shown. Why do we even get a day's notice? The system is old, outdated and irrelevant. Especially as I hear on the grapevine we will be rated as Good. PS I like your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteBlimey, a day! We have 2 weeks to make everything look good and get the kids prepped!! Totally agree the system is outdated :-)
DeleteSorry should say Ofsted! Maybe Ousted is better though!
ReplyDeleteLol! I like Ousted!! :-)
DeleteAlways nice when a project is finished.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the inspection
Alison in Wales x
Thanks! The bit I can't do is finished so it's up to me now! :-)
DeleteGood luck Ofsted is what finished me off!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have a feeling this will finish me too! But I'm ok with that :-)
DeleteThank you for explaining. That makes perfect sense!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! :-)
DeleteAlways a nerve wracking experience. Hope it goes well. Your laundry area looks super!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I had doubts halfway through but it's lovely in the end.
DeleteThis will be my 3rd HMIE inspection and I've always had good feedback so I'm not too worried :-)
It looks lovely. It needs to be green, green I tell you GREEN. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the visit ... perhaps you could hide all the children in cupboards !!
Ha ha ha... no!! ;-) Not my colour at all. Can't decide whether I should go loud or subtle colours!! Only need to hide a couple of kids in some cupboards!!!!
