A Nottinghamshire primary school listed among the 100 worst performing in the UK has been taken over by a multi-academy trust to improve its performance. Brierley Forest Primary and Nursery School in Sutton-in-Ashfield is one of two Nottinghamshire primaries among the worst-performing nationally, according to Ofsted.
The school was visited by education inspectors in November 2021, and its findings were published in January 2022, rating the school 'inadequate'. The school's headteacher was 'disappointed' with the findings, and the published report states that some 'do not feel safe' at the school.
Living near the school has caused concern for local residents in terms of parking, among other issues. To turn around the school's performance, a multi-academy trust has taken over the running of Brierley Forest.
