OUR government in its wisdom
Wondering what on earth to do

To lift the standard in our schools

Gave birth to the Ofsted review.

Each time they were to visit

Some teachers' knees were quivering

"Shall we be found quite lacking

In the standard we're delivering?"

With bated breath they waited

To learn the body's finding

Knowing too well their decision

Would be publicised and binding.

A school so low in credits

Where some staff may be replaced

And lots of money spent on

presenting a new face.

The media had a field day

Watching each and every move

What joy, what pride in placing

That school above the groove.

And OFSTED came to visit East Bierley and claimed

Our most prestigious school held a credit rarely named.

Planners and council heard this

and without further ado

Proposed the school be scrapped ...
