Hi Debster99, Just wondering, whether you think the school was going to receive better/more positive press attention or less OTT activity on social media such as this by hiding the results? It made them look like they were hiding something and as we all know now...they were. I think this point has been raised time and time again so I don't want to rehash it but more transparency is needed. Then at least it would stop rumour mongering and silly speculation. You are obviously quite close to the management of the school and are very supportive. Have you suggested this to them? I am not saying your word will change the way the school runs, but it takes caring parents like yourself to make the difference. The results were seriously shocking. I am not saying that the malpractice alleged definitely happened, please don't take this as me saying that. However, I think that does make the allegations more compelling. The year it was reported results were at their all time high for the school of 60% and then the following year when exam boards say they are monitoring examination practices (as a result of the allegations) that the results drop to 36%. Perhaps this is not a drop but where results should have always been. One of my good and oldest friend's sons was in the 2012 year 11 cohort and they are still at the school so I do not want to say too much, but it is definitely not his opinion or his parent's that this cohort was so much more weak than the previous 3 years, year 11 groups. I think the Value Added score would also show that the school have done badly by these students who would have been expected to get more than they did. Very jumbled thoughts here, but just trying to see sense in what seems like an unbelievable situation. This school has low retention and low exam results, low in the league tables...I think that is pretty relevant. I am just utterly confused by this situation. As Ofsted have deemed the school 'good' and yet everything indicates that it is not 'good'. Also I think I would feel happier if Management and Leadership had received 'Outstanding' as at least I would then be left feeling that the school was on the way 'up' out of this drop, instead it has been lowered to 'good'. I just hope this management team are able to pull themselves together and sort this out. I hope this does not come across as me having an axe to grind as so many others of mine might have done previously, I have had time to process more of my thoughts now and with time has come a little bit of not understanding but calm.
