A Merseyside school has been rated inadequate by Ofsted in a damning report.
Savio Salesian College in Bootle has continued to underperform as Ofsted revisited the school in September, despite it being reported how much teachers do for the pupils. In the damning report published this week, the "lack of clarity about the school's future, financial concerns and considerable turbulence in leadership and staff" have all contributed to pupils' underachieving.
The report also said that children at the school are "ill-equipped for the next stage of their education, employment or training". The report said: "Provision for pupils with SEND is weak. Many pupils with SEND do not receive the support that they need. Consequently, these pupils do not achieve well.
