A friend (I didn't check which one) posted on Facebook about the article Your school is failing, Ofsted tells four-year-olds in letter. The article says at one point:
In one letter sent to pupils at a Nottinghamshire primary, the inspector who visited the school wrote: "You are not reaching the standards you should in English, mathematics and science, and this means you are not well prepared for your future adult lives.
It seems counterintuitive to write letters to students that are failing English. Perhaps they're hoping that it'll be a good example to follow. Maybe they should encourage them to write back (probably in crayon) so they can practise the skills they're (not) learning, through a purposeful activity such as writing a letter of complaint to Ofsted.
