Frustrated parents said they were 'not surprised' as a Nottingham school was hit with a damning report by Ofsted. Bulwell Academy in Squires Avenue has been rated as 'inadequate' by the watchdog following an inspection in October.
The report signed by Ofsted states "too many pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not receive the education that they deserve" and that leaders have not identified needs accurately. "Leaders’ expectations of what these pupils can achieve are far too low", they added.
Although the behaviour has been described as 'usually calm in lessons and at social times', inspectors said those with special needs do not benefit from reasonable adjustments.
