A primary school in Mansfield for children with special educational needs which was previously placed in special measures has now been rated as 'good' by Ofsted. It was previously known as Redgate School before being taken over by Diverse Academies Trust in 2017 as part of the measures introduced, becoming Redgate Primary Academy in Somersall Street.
The school was inspected on March 29 and 30, with the report into Ofsted's findings recently published. It is now rated as 'good' in every area inspected, compared to when the school had its last full inspection in February 2015.
In that report, inspectors rated 'leadership and management' and 'behaviour and safety of pupils' as 'inadequate', resulting in an overall 'inadequate' rating despite higher scores in other areas. In its findings, the report stated: "The governing body is not fulfilling its statutory duty to ensure that the school's arrangements for keeping pupils safe meet requirements.
