We got the call

"Meeting in the hub at half twelve."  In a school, in my experience, that can only mean death or Ofsted.  Well it was the latter.  This was my first time teaching in KS1 during a visit, and it wasn't a great experience.  I went from teaching 15 children English and Maths to having the whole class.  Half of whom I knew nothing about.  I was advised to teach money, it was a disaster.  The "dephe" apologised and said that I had been failed by the school leaders, which made me feel a bit better.  My confidence this year has taken a battering but unlike in 2014 when I took this very personally, I know it's not me.  I have had quite a year and it has been one heck of a learning curve but I feel confident in my abilities as a teacher.  Although I still lose it when I'm being observed.
