A Newark secondary school said it is 'bitterly disappointed' with Ofsted after it received its first inspection report. The Suthers School, situated in Cross Lane, was rated as 'requires improvement' in the recently published report.
Ofsted ranked it as 'good' in all but one of the categories, which was behaviour and attitudes. It said leaders had "not ensured that all pupils behave consistently well".
"Pupils, particularly younger pupils, reported that lessons are often disrupted by others’ poor behaviour," reads the report. "This is especially the case when classes are taught by temporary staff. Pupils do not always respond positively when challenged by staff."
