00:00Hello, my name is Megan Bainbridge and I'm a reporter for the Lancashire Post and the Blackpool Gazette.
00:04Today I went out into Lancashire to ask people what they thought of the impacts of the Ofsted reports on schools. Here is what they said.
00:10Megan Hardy from Kirkham. I think they can have a really bad impact on staff's mental health.
00:16I think there was a headteacher that committed suicide after the Ofsted reports.
00:22So I think they're important, but I think they need to change how they do their work.
00:28Keisha Feinstein from Preston. We put a lot of stress because they come randomly.
00:34So then teachers feel stressed to make a good impression, because if you have a bad report then it can affect people coming.
00:41Clarence Dibbock from Liverpool. I think it's a good idea for schools and universities and all that to cover up before they come.
00:50Remember when you're a kid, they'll say, oh, best behaviour, or do you get this?
00:53So they're coming in so it's all like a bazaar.
