Two primary schools face each other across the river; one outstanding, the other inclusive.
At precisely 8am, Margaret Jones' hire car draws up outside Marsh Street Primary. The beleaguered inspector is being quality assured by two senior colleagues who defend the outdated inspectorate with vigour.
Jill Grimly, the dedicated acting headteacher, teeters precariously between failure and success, assisted by one of her devoted pupils, Ayiesha, a girl with special needs.
The inspection slides into a fiasco; who is the blackmailer, and who is the fool in the school?'
'It was like my heart & my whole experience of teaching were captured in this book''The story highlights absurd bureaucracy in inspection and how outcomes can be manipulated so that the final report ends up not reflecting the school at all!'A cracking read: entertaining, sharply-observed and warm-hearted... it is book which should be read by all those involved in the teaching of children and, in particular, those who inspect schools.
