In all 18 Kent Primary Schools have been failed in their most recent OFSTED Inspections, a worryingly high number for KCC as it carries out its own review into why Primary School standards are low in the county. Amongst many criticisms: "The quality of teaching, identified as a priority for improvement at the last inspection, has declined and is now inadequate". A reminder of the importance of school Governing Bodies is that: "the governing body infrequently challenges the school on attainment and progress. Consequently, it has not fully appreciated the severity of pupils underachievement or monitored the schools response to this". There are several other related items in the tags listed below.
