An investigation revealed the same paragraph was used in report cards for 12 different schools – more than 10 per cent of the 103 to have been graded at that point.
The 12 schools spanned a range of settings – three primaries, four secondaries, two special schools, an all-through school and two technical colleges.
The 71-word passage was used in the “next steps” section of the report cards, where inspectors recommend follow-up actions.
Special school in special measuresA special school has been placed in special measures after a damning Ofsted report saw it given ‘urgent improvement’ ratings across the board, and found safeguarding standards were “not met”.
