We had a baptism
of fire when we launched our new Macbeth workshops and found that
the first school we were visiting was having an OFSTED inspection
and that the Antic Mind workshop was being observed! However, it
turned out to be a golden opportunity to find out what the Inspector
actually thought about the work we were doing. Although feedback
time was limited, we were informed that our "'Teachers' were very
good," and that "You could see pupils' confidence growing as the
session progressed."
Most importantly
for prospective customers was that the OFSTED Inspector praised the
workshop itself saying that, "Students will have learnt a lot from
the lesson," and that we "managed to include everyone" in the
activities.
As a company
which prides itself on the quality of work which we offer to
schools, this is confirmation for us that we are doing things which
are of real educational value to students and to their schools.
The
Inspection took place on January 17th 2005 at Newsome High School,
Huddersfield.
