Stephanie Day is a young teacher in her second year of teaching. Her school was “satisfactory” at their last inspection and they are expecting a visit any time now.
Every day before the end of last term, rather than channelling her energy into the Christmas play and enjoying the start of her teaching career, she was waiting for Ofsted.
