Parents at one of London’s best known state schools have threatened Ofsted with legal action after it was downgraded from “outstanding” to “inadequate.”
A group of parents claim the decision to rate the school as failing is “irrational”. They argue that the timing of the inspection — as the school is embroiled in a dispute over whether it should join an academy chain — amounted to an abuse of power.
The group, made up of members of the Holland Park School Parents’ Collective, have written to Ofsted saying they could launch a judicial review of the report published last week.
