Ofsted has rated Holland Park School ‘inadequate’ after whistleblowers exposed wide-ranging failures including bullying and discrimination, two years after giving it a clean bill of health.
The inspectorate said “mistrust and disharmony” between stakeholders, amid a battle over its plans to join a multi-academy trust, were impeding improvement.
It said behaviour had worsened “considerably” since the high-profile academy was rated “outstanding” in 2014.
