Ofsted response re safety in schools

PFI Schools Posted on Tue, March 24, 2015 01:39:34

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the attached letter from OFSTED ref my concerns for safety and welfare of thousands of children and staff at the 6 Private Finance Inititiative schools in Exeter.

I fervently believe that OFSTED does hold remit for safety and welfare for
children in UK schools and I consider this response from OFSTED is hogwash at
best….

I now call upon my MP to write to both OFSTED and the Minister of Education demanding a public inquiry into the 6 PFI schools in Exeter.

I would envisage this issue is not isolated to Exeter PFI schools but
systemic failures by OFSTED and Local Education Authorities nationwide.

As you are aware my FOIA case involving the Exeter 6 PFI schools is parked up awaiting the Court of Appeal conclusion. One of these schools has had
contaminated drinking for addecade since it was built in 2005 and those idiots at OFSTED do not accept that drinking water in schools comes under welfare.

For your information urgent action and files.

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

Upon your recommendation ,I hand carried 4 FOIA requests to the DCC today
and was appalled to see the reception does not have a receipt stamp.They hand
sign each copy of correspondence.

Are they living in the dark ages or has austerity really took a
grip??

It will be V interesting to see how they respond to my requests which are
all brand new but I would envisage section 14(1) will be handed out to me AGAIN.
Time will tell.

For your information,action and files

with thanks
