OFSTSED Reports Though it might not always feel like it. Manson Academy was set up as a place of safety and learning for the supernatural and gifted. With that status came a duty to actually protect and teach those in its care. To make sure this happened, when the UK parliament set up a department to monitor schools, a second, secret division was made too, especially for places that housed the less human students in the country.
The Office for Standards in Supernatural Education.
With ties to other supernatural establishments they are a powerful force and generally not to be messed around, having the authority to shut any location down they deem to be unfit or at risk of exposing the greater supernatural and gifted world to humans, who they been somewhat hiding in plain sight from, and like to keep it that way. Since they fund these places this is understandable, they don't want good money going to waste.
Where does Manson come in all this? As you might guess, they are due for an inspection.
Some inspectors have been sent to monitor goings on, stay a while (seems likely one might want to interview a few people and staff) and then make a report. Anything lower then a 'C' grade means a place is put on official warning and revisited a month later. An 'F' grade is automatic shut down and immediate removal of students and residents, with all staff pending an investigation into any criminal practices, where after staff will either be cleared and moved elsewhere to work or fired.
But Manson doesn't have to worry about such a drastic outcome, right? Major improvements have been made in recent years and as recently as a few months ago (like the demolition of old buildings and erection of a new Therapy Building). So the feeling is positive for a good passing grade.
Its not like they had a bunch of students run away, hide out for weeks, steal cars or make a scene in public.
oh crap....

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE: The Inspectors have arrived. Or one has... Reported to have been seen around the Main Building Offices.. It seems a low-key affair so far, which if the rest of the visit goes similarly then seems that Manson has little to worry about.

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE: Another Inspector has arrived. The man was seen in the Secure Facility Break Room, making notes and watching a couple of the guards. He didn't say a word so there is no obvious way of telling what he was making notes of. But as long as nobody was doing anything wrong, there is surely no need to worry.

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:There was another Inspector sighting. The woman was seen briefly watching a teacher and resident share a drink before leaving to make a phone call. Either that is a sign she was pleased and had to share what she saw or worried and had to share it, more likely pleased, nothing wrong with being friendly to students surely.

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:More Inspectors have been sighted, this time watching the events at a wolf pack meeting. These inspectors seem to be coming in twos now... But usually the pack meetings go by quietly, they probably won't see anything of concern.
Now, surely the next stage is someone coming officially.

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:Well there goes my surprise entrance! Since people seem to know I was coming, I better introduce myself. My name is Inspector Anderson. If you see me around do not feel afraid, if all goes well my time here will be short.
I may want to talk to some of you but again that is no reason to be worried. My aim is to make this place better for everyone. Wouldn't that be nice?

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:The OFSTSED report has been given in, it seem it is not good news. Many points have been listed as the reason for the bad grade, but a positive is, at least it was not an automatic failed grade. It seems there are things that can be done to see Manson stays open. It all depends on what the Headmaster does when the Inspector sees him.

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:Changes are coming. First of which sees parts of the academy locked down while the changes are put in place. If you intend to go out into the Forest you will find yourself turned back as for now, the place is off limits to student and staff alike. If things are to improve, for now everybody needs to be kept an eye on, that is easier if there are less places to go.
(you can finish previous threads in the Forest board but you wont be able to create new ones for now)

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:Along with the Forest being said to be off-limits, it seems there is a physical barrier stopping people getting in and out too. Certainly the work of OFSTSED... The changes continue inside Manson too, with ZACK BENEDICT MØRK , BAYLEE THOMAS WYLEE SHEPHERD , ALEXANDER WARREN HARROW , @fawn all having been noted as potential problems and if they were not already housed there, will find themselves moved into Maximum Security due to previous and ongoing issues. They are all on a last warning and have the threat of being moved to the 'Snake Pit' (OFSTSED really wanted that nickname changed but it seems to have stuck) where the most murderous and unstable are subdued. CAROLINE DEANDRA HALE and AARON HUNT have already been taken down there.
In slightly more positive news. Some staff are being moved around and offered new roles. @mickey if he takes the offer is going to be putting his speed to good use by given the specific task of working in the grounds and forest (when it opens back up at least), catching or hopefully stopping runaways before they get out while CLIVE HENDRICKS is getting his skill of already technically being dead taken advantage of by being given a near permanent job in the high risk levels of the Secure Facility and the Snake Pit.
Also, some building work has also started, it seems fairly minor right now but brightly coloured bits of metal and plastic is being taken into the grounds. Who knows what that is for?

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:The lockdown is spreading and now nobody, not even staff are allowed to venture into the grounds and any town privileges granted to residents have been revoked. An end date for this has not been given yet so it seems everyone is going to have to try and get along, you will be seeing each other a lot more now there are less places to go.
(posting has been restricted in Academy Grounds and Nearest Town boards, you can finish previous threads in these areas but you wont be able to create new ones for now)

From: To: @all Staff / @all Students |
Subject: _______________________________________ June 2017
Dear Staff and Residents of Manson Academy,
I'm sure by now you all have noticed the changes currently ongoing on our campus. It saddens me to inform you after our last inspection by OFSTSED we as a community have failed miserably. Rules and regulations are being broken with out a second thought and such actions often place the people we are supposed to protect at great risk. Since taking on my temporary roll as Headmaster I never really paid much attention to my job and because of that I let my responsibilities slide.
After being informed there is no replacement in my future and if changes where not made Manson Academy will be closing it's doors for good. I can not allow an establishment such as this that has been helping countless people for the last 100 years too fail. Even though our community is a diverse melting pot of different personalities and gifts I believe that if we work together, striving to make this a better place, we should have no problems fixing the issues that have been brought to light.
The staff here at Manson Academy are diligently working to make improvements where improvements need to be made. While layoffs and budget cuts are unfortunately being made the hope of new staff arrivals hangs just on the horizon. I fully understand how so many new changes can have a negative impact but I assure it is all for the better.
Here are just a few key points I would like us all to take into consideration and are be highlighted in the report I was given.
Illicit drug usage and or selling of said drugs
No fraternizing between staff and residents
Absolutely no physical relationships between staff and residents.
Residents attending regular education classes
Noncompliance with group and individual therapy sessions
Effective immediately until further notice no residents are allowed to venture off campus and that included the surrounding lake and forest areas. Residents will be randomly drug tested and possessions/dormitories will be searched weekly.
Along with this email you will find a Code of Conduct in the attachments. From here on out I would like for everyone to familiarize themselves with the Code of Conduct. A copy of the Code of Conduct will be made available at the front/admission offices as well as the medical wing.
Please bear with us as we go through the slow process of making this a better facility tailored to fit your needs. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to seek a staff member or contact me directly.
Best regards,
Jackson Teller _______ 25/06/2017

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:It has been over a month since OFSTSED gave the bad report and restrictions were put into place by the Manson Academy Headmaster so changes could be made. A solid month of work done and improvements. While many might claim to see little difference now from then, the fact the new Youth Wing and a Playground has been completed shows improvement. If it will be enough remains to be seen. The staff must think they are doing something right as the Forest has been reopened.
At the moment only those with a written need to be in a natural environment (Shifters/Fae-folk) are being granted permission to be out, staggering the flow until it can be fully allowed. The reopening of the rest of the grounds seems likely to follow.

OFSTSED Reports UPDATE:The Greenhouses are the newest area to be reopened. Horticultural lessons and any and natural therapy sessions will be restarting soon and resident with an assigned greenhouse have been told they are welcome to begin working inside once again. No other places have been mentioned as being officially ok to be in yet (in fact there seems to be a large are cordoned off around the Swimming House), so its probably best to not loiter in any other places on your way to the greenhouses until further notice.
