sounds like OFSTED need to be inspected for their English and semantics. Satisfactory means unsatisfactory? How could that be? Is it poetic? Or ironic? Imagine a sarcastic OFSTED that really a school in inverted commas. So the worst a school could be was "Oh, yeah, really great..." and the best was "Oh dear. What a rubbish school". It's a bit like the system we currently have, then, but just pushes it slightly further...
