Nottinghamshire County Council has signed off on a land transfer as a Rushcliffe primary school becomes an academy. Langar Church of England Primary School, on Barnstone Road, Langar, will join the Aspire Multi-Academy Trust after the transfer of the school land was agreed.
It follows the school being graded ‘inadequate’ by education watchdog Ofsted in July 2022, before overturning the grading to be rated as ‘good’ in March. The watchdog initially found issues with safeguarding, bullying and leaders’ ambitions for children.
The school was told its quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and early years provision ‘requires improvement’. Its leadership and management was, however, graded as ‘inadequate’ in the July 2022 report, leading to its ‘overall effectiveness’ also being viewed as inadequate.
