King John School drops to Inadequate rating

The King John School in Thunderseley, Essex was rated an outstanding school back in 2013 following an Ofsted report. However a few weeks ago, the school was inspected again by Ofsted and they reduced the rating from Oustanding to Inadequate.

The Ofsted report displayed that the personal development, behaviour and welfare of students in the school needs improving. This goes alongside ‘inadequate’ leadership and management.

Overall effectiveness	Inadequate
Effectiveness of leadership and management	Inadequate
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment	Good
Personal development, behaviour and welfare	Requires improvement
Outcomes for pupils	Good
16 to 19 study programmes	Good
