An elite state school nicknamed the 'socialist Eton' has been issued a termination warning notice after its Ofsted rating was cut from 'outstanding' to 'inadequate' last month.
The Department for Education said that Holland Park School, in West London, won't close imminently and the way forward is via a trust if improvements are made.
The Regional Schools Commissioner's Office received an Ofsted notification on June 7 confirming the school was deemed 'inadequate and has serious weakness', a warning notice sent to members and trustees of the school said.
In a Termination Warning Notice to the Members and Trustees of Holland Park School on June 10, Dame Kate Dethridge, wrote: 'I need to be satisfied that the trust has capacity to deliver rapid and sustainable improvement at the academy.
