The Department for Education has requested a Nottinghamshire school submit an action plan for change after the school was found to be below the expected standards for an independent school. The Wings School Notts, based at Kirklington Hall, near Newark, is a residential and day school.
It was deemed to be 'Inadequate' by Ofsted in December 2021, and an additional inspection in September 2022 found the school was still not meeting the independent school standards. A letter was sent to the school on November 24, 2022, by the Department of Education that requires the school to submit an action plan by December 28.
The action plan must specify the steps in how the school will meet each of the required school standards, and the time by which each of these steps will be met. This needs to be approved by the department, as the non-submission of a plan or the rejection of a plan could cause enforcement action, such as the school being removed from the register of independent schools or the imposition of a relevant restriction.
