Hi Kermit! can I just ask you what they asked you in terms of tracking as I have made a few posts recently regarding this and it seems that Ofsted do want to see evidence of this. Can I ask you what you showed them and what you have as your baseline as I am in the middle of changing mine! Thanks

Hi guys I was just thinking about my college placement in a reception class, what I would like to know is should I ask questions if so what sort of questions. I feel that college has put a lot of pressure on me to find a job or placement quickly so I now feel that I am going to stuggle to pay my bills only working the other 2 days per week. AGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! I have worked in a reception class before but it too was on placement and was a long time ago well 6 years ago. Well hopefully this may lead to a job in a schools foundation stage unit in the local area. As I have been told by someone who works in a school attached to the before and after school clu…
