Recently underwent a two day ICT subject inspection. Our use of OSS to give students a viable alternative to Microsoft products was noted. Only hope it's mentioned in the final report
Came out with Good and Oustanding.

cool, do post a link when the report gets published.
Has anyone had a chance to read this OFSTED report
'The importance of ICT: information and communication technology in primary and secondary schools, 2005/2008'

Section 104 says 'For instance, open source operating systems and software are now a reliable and cost-effective solution, enabling the few schools that choose this route to achieve excellent value for money. A few schools have used open source software for establishing a virtual learning environment, enabling them to obtain several years’ worth of development with no licensing costs'
Took me a little while to get round to reading this, but a few thoughts at http://opensourceschools.org.uk/ofsted-and-open-source.html
