A letter from the Principal

A letter arrived yesterday from the Principal of my school, regarding our recent inspection.

In it, it said that "in recognition of your continued performance of achieving GOOD or better....." then it goes on to say I wouldn't be formally observed for some time, and would not be expected to provide anything more than an 'updated planner'.

I was confused. GOOD OR BETTER??? So this meant my lesson wasn't bad at all? I felt like cheering and shouting at the top of my voice "I'm not a rubbish teacher..."

It was a really exciting feeling to have received that letter, and I was so grateful to the Principal for sending it!

And then, as ever, I was brought back to earth with a bump.

My Head of Department said he may have reason to believe that maybe people weren't getting the right letters. Maybe there was a mix up? I don't know if he knows what my lesson was judged at, but he hasn't told me that directly.

So am I a 'good' or not? Is the letter meant for me or not? Will I need to be formally observed as soon as we return after half term or not?

Aaaaaggggghhhhhh...............
