Nine schools in Wirral have been found to be “high risk and vulnerable" with standards far below the national average.
The schools were assessed by Wirral Council as having limited good leadership “at all levels,” having “serious weaknesses” and “serious financial concerns.”
Most concerning at these schools, pupil safeguarding is “ineffective and there may be concerns about pupils’ safety and wellbeing” and “vulnerable groups may not be effectively supported" with teaching and learning "inconsistent.”
