An isolated secondary school that has never been rated ‘good’ or better by Ofsted has a new academy trust lined up.
Department for Education southeast regional director Dame Kate Dethridge plans to re-broker Oasis Academy Isle of Sheppey into the Leigh Academies Trust.
The academy, which is the only secondary school on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, is the first to be given up by Oasis Community Learning, one of England’s largest trusts, in its almost two-decade history.
Inspectors warned last year the school had seen “too many fresh starts” as it slid into special measures.
