If the new geography teacher tries to encourage the pupils to get into 
OSM I hope she / he does a better job than the staff did in the past.

My experience and impressions of the school were not good.

I was invited to visit the school, which I did a couple of times to 
explain about OSM and to try to help a member of staff incorporate some 
OSM into a lesson or two. It quickly became clear that the motivation 
was not to broaden the pupils' education or improve the quality, use or 
understanding of OSM, rather that a foreign trip was on offer under some 
European scheme.

Almost everything the pupils added to OSM was junk. Quality control 
seemed to be absent and very little of real value remains. I had to step 
in and correct or revert awful edits that the team seemed happy to leave.

Little wonder that in July Ofstead ruled Archbishop Sentimu Academy 
inadequate and placed the school into special measures.

I have been disheartened by my experience and would think long and hard 
before offering to help a school again.
