The ‘best’ school in Bristol has been given a damning Ofsted inspection, with inspectors rating the school ‘inadequate’ overall.
Ofsted inspectors said a ‘for a significant proportion’ of the pupils at Montpelier High School the school ‘does not feel like a safe place’ because of a bullying problem, but the quality of education, sixth-form provision and personal development of pupils there also requires improvement.
The leadership of the school - which changed its name from Colston’s Girls’ School in November 2020 - has written to parents acknowledging they will ‘feel shocked and let down’, and a number of open meetings with parents have been scheduled for next week.
