O/T Tommy Robinson Speaks About Manchester Terror Attack

[ragingpup]

It was only reduced by me to make it readable, I'm not a fan of the verbal diarrhoea that some knock out.

I did however leave out the bit that the school in question was at one time on Ofsted "special measures"

It's a politically correct attempt at forced integration and is dramatically failing those poor souls that have to go there.

I think its fair to see that the school has been on a fair old journey, but as the ofsted report clearly says, the previous headmaster and the lack of teaching skills was the problem. It's exactly the same report as the college I recently started work; underskilled teachers who needed support and some lazy ones who needed shipping out. We moved from a 3 to a 2 in 12 months. The current head of this school will do the same, as Ofsted indicate in their report. When she gets that, can we then, with equal idiocy, call the 'experiment' a success?

If Ofsted is the barometer of multi cultural school success, how about my two nearest local schools? My daughter goes to Oakdale School, South Woodford with this ofsted profile: "The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is above the national average. The largest single group of pupils is of White British heritage, with other sizeable groups having Other White, Pakistani, African, Caribbean or Mixed heritages. The proportion of pupils speaking English as an additional language is also above the national average".
Ofsted Grade: Good

Or our other local one has "The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is much higher than average and has increased rapidly in the last three years. Tthe percentage of children with English as an additional language is also above average and is increasing"
Ofsted grade: Outstanding. http://www.nightingale.redbridge.sch...ruary_2010.pdf

So how do these schools which do naturally what the Oldham school are attempting to do manage to deliver excellent education to students from mixed cultures??


So it seems that my ideas for moving away from faith schools and allowing parents to keep their cultures separate is worth at least engaging with. If you do not feel it would work, or isn't a good idea to move in this direction, then please at least give a coherent reason as it looks, from out here, that you simply don't want to go in this direction. If that's the case, why not?


And can I ask you, and Mr Fire, or anyone that has contributed to this thread as they share an interest in moving towards a world where people don't feel the need to carry out atrocities justified by religious bigotry, if you had a school such as either of the two ofsted have profiled above with much higher than average ethnic diversity but outstanding/good standards - would you send your children there??

If not, why?

I will answer your question. I choose the schools for my children purely on their Ofsted report and reputation. I wouldn't care how ethnically diverse they were or weren't, all I have EVER cared about is that my children get the best education available to them as possible.
