A Bristol primary school has been put into special measures after being slated in its latest Ofsted result.<\/p>\n
Ofsted blasted Luckwell School in Bristol for the headteacher and governors’ failure to lead the school effectively and provide an acceptable quality of education.<\/p>\n
They noted that the teaching was inadequate and there was a weak culture of safeguarding, putting pupils at risk.<\/p>\n
Headteacher Kevin Jones, took over at the school in 2011. Though its 2013 report said Luckwell was a Good School, inspectors were concerned that the governing body was too slow to tackle ‘endemic weakness’ in the school and were too accepting of the headteacher’s explanation for the slide.<\/p>\n
Every area of the school was found to be Inadequate, despite the head swinging an award for ‘ongoing commitment to education in Bristol’ from Bristol Learning City in March this year.<\/p>\n
The school has been in consultation with Redland Green to become part of a multi academy trust.<\/p>\n
Parents in attendance at a specially called meeting at Luckwell School last week confirmed to us that this will be going ahead, with Kevin Jones continuing to head the school despite Osfted reporting that there are ‘inadequacies in the leadership and management of the school’.<\/p>\n
