The school has gone from outstanding to inadequate
A primary school in Lancs has become one of the last in the country to receive the devastating one-word rating of INADEQUATE.
That was just one of a series of devastating conclusions reached following the inspection earlier this year. The inspection report did highlight a raft of positives about the Eldon Street facility - including the behaviour of pupils, the “interesting and engaging curriculum” that has been developed for them and the strong focus on their personal development.
He said: “We have sent a dossier to Ofsted showing evidence inspectors did not pay regard to, as well as setting out facts the inspectors got wrong. We share the shock many of you will be feeling right now about the issues Ofsted has highlighted, but we also embrace their findings as a chance to provide the evidence for assurances Ofsted missed and to make improvements where they are needed in our journey to recovering our ‘outstanding’ school status.
What is Lancashire County Council's response? A spokesperson for Lancashire County Council said that the authority wanted to “reassure parents, carers and the wider school community that we are fully committed to supporting the school by ensuring continuous improvement”. "We understand that an academy order is now expected, as part of the national, statutory process. However, we will continue to work with the leadership in implementing the recommendations of the report during its forthcoming transition. We will, of course, ensure all staff, parents and carers and the wider school community are supported and kept fully informed throughout this journey."
