No!
The longer answer to these and other very interesting points regarding the English language can be found on this excellent blog, Skyler's Rants:
Splitting Infinitives and Ending with Prepositions
Another blogger caught my attention today and made some comments about grammar, curiously remarking that a split infinitive would be an example of improper English.
But of course, this is all a silly myth. Splitting infinitives is one of the wonderful advantages of our language. The reason that many teachers say otherwise is a very curious relic of the 18th century.
I'm going to quote at length from "The Mother Tongue, English and How it Got that Way" by Bill Bryson

This is good too:
It is exceedingly difficult to find any authority who condemns the split infinitive – Theodore Bernstein, H. W. Fowler, Ernest Gowers, Eric Partridge, Rudolph Flesch, Wilson Follett, Roy H. Copperud, and others too tedious to enumerate here all agree that there is no logical reason not to split an infinitive. Otto Jespersen even suggests that, strictly speaking, it isn't actually possible to split an infinitive. As he puts it: " 'To' . . . is no more an essential part of an infinitive than the definite article in an essential part of a nominative, and no one would think of calling 'the good man' a split nominative."

I have been a primary head teacher for the past 12 years. I see a lot of comments against Ofsted but know this. These reports and grading’s have highlighted failing schools and those where improvements can be made. In the main the Inspectors offer very clear objectives and advice.
It's quite simple; those who work hard to improve their schools have nothing to fear.
