Her Majesty's High Inquisitor of Schools
**TODO has been reading Harry Potter recently, and finished book 5 (Order of the Phoenix) last week, so we watched the film at the weekend.
On Monday afternoon, we heard that Ofsted would be paying a short-notice visit to **FIXME's school on Tuesday and Wednesday. After I'd tried to explain what Ofsted do, the kids asked, "So is Ofsted like Professor Umbridge?", and after a moment's thought, I said yes, yes they are.
(For those who don't remember, Umbridge is appointed Hogwarts High Inquisitor and makes a show of inspecting the teaching, which is a thinly-veiled cover for being horrible and abusive.)
