OFSTED and Kingsbrook

Hi I am the Deputy Head at Kingsbrook http://www.kingsbrook.northants.sch.uk/ The errors which I corrected have no verification so I am not sure why they would be better than my editing My particular issue is the fact that the page states that we are in an OFSTED unsatisfactory catagory and we are NOT anymore The link on the page (in the info box) leads to our satisfactory OFSTED report but the statement on the page may lead people to reject the school Nraynsford (talk) 19:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nryansford, and welcome to Wikipedia. The OFSTED report (prior to that) gave the following link as a reference:

http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/reports/pdf/?inspectionNumber=314206&providerCategoryID=8192&fileName=\\school\\122\\s5_122060_20080514.pdf

By removing that and stating it was satisfactory, you didn't give any proof (such as a citation). If you need help sourcing it, let me know (here). I can also ask some UK school-specific folks to help you out, as it's outside my knowledge area. Let me know. tedder (talk) 23:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help I cannot see how to change the reference list The current link goes to the general OFSTED site, not a report The actual link is http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/oxedu_reports/download/%28id%29/110234/%28as%29/122060_331581.pdf but I cannot see how to put that in Sorry if I am being a bit lame Nraynsford (talk) 08:36, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for making the change (assuming it was you) I have also changed the name of the head ... the citation does list the new head Nraynsford (talk) 19:37, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I asked someone to do it, and it looks like User:Michael Bednarek did it- here's the exact change. Your head change is supported and looks nice! tedder (talk) 05:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
