Crazy!!

Ofsted examined a primary school in Lincolnshire.  It got top marks all down the line, but Ofsted failed to give it an "outstanding" rating.  Why?  Because it was all white! There were no children there from any other culture.  No suggestion that this was in any way the school's fault, and its intake merely reflected the area it was in, but as Ofsted saw it the children there were denied "first-hand interaction with counterparts from different backgrounds", and this was sufficient to deny them the highest rating. So being white British is now somehow not good enough?
