A Sutton-in-Ashfield primary school rated among the worst-performing schools in the UK has responded to claims from parents about bullying, teachers leaving and parents pulling their kids out. According to education inspectorate Ofsted, Brierley Forest Primary and Nursery School, on Westbourne View, is among the worst 100 primary schools in the country.
Residents living near the school have said parking is a "nightmare". One resident went as far as describing living there as "hell" due to foul language being used outside the school gates, too.
There are two in Nottinghamshire that feature among the 100 or so, with the other being Harlow Academy in Nottingham Road, Mansfield. Both schools are rated 'inadequate'. Brierley Forest has recently been taken over by Transform Trust, a multi-academy trust, to improve its performance.
