A Nottinghamshire school, rated inadequate by Ofsted in January this year, has announced it is set to transfer to a new academy trust. Carlton le Willows, in Gedling, currently operates under Greater Nottingham Education Trust (GNET) as an original trust member but is set to transfer to Delta Academies Trust towards the end of 2023.
GNET, which was formed in 2016, has also announced it will begin the process of transferring another of its schools, Netherfield Primary School, to a different multi-academy trust. Academy trusts are responsible for employing the staff, as well as having trustees who are responsible for the performance of the academies in the trust.
This comes after Carlton le Willows, an 11–18 mixed, secondary school and sixth form, was given an overall effectiveness ranking of 'inadequate'. The Wood Lane school received 'requires improvement' rankings for the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and for the sixth-form provision when it was inspected from November 15 to 17, 2022
