Ofsted has removed a school’s ‘inadequate’ inspection report from its website after admitting its findings were “not reliable”, in a highly rare move.

Queen Emma Primary School in Cambridge was inspected in October and given the lowest rating over its leadership and management and safeguarding.

It launched a legal bid against the watchdog in a dispute over evidence for the findings, lodging an application with the High Court for a judicial review of the report.

It separately lodged a formal complaint with Ofsted, which was not upheld, and requested an internal review over the way it was handled.
