The government has threatened to remove a school from a turnaround academy trust dubbed as “one of our most successfully performing” by former academies minister Lord Nash.

The Department for Education published a termination warning notice on Friday threatening to re-broker Outwood Academy Ormesby because it excludes too many pupils.

The school, run by Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT), was downgraded from ‘good’ to special measures in October.

In the warning notice sent the same month, the government voiced “concern” over Ofsted’s findings that a “high proportion of pupils are suspended from school”.
