Ofsted received “credible intelligence” that staff at a school at the centre of a High Court challenge over its inspection grade had been bullied and suspended after speaking to inspectors, court documents show.
Schools Week reported in July that All Saints Academy Dunstable in Bedfordshire had been granted permission for a judicial review over its ‘inadequate’ judgment.
The watchdog deemed further evidence was required after a first visit to the school in November last year.
The school said inspectors told them it was due to be rated ‘good’ overall, but Ofsted said the provisional rating was ‘requires improvement’.
