A trust has outlined its plan to provide the 'best possible care' for pupils at a Nottinghamshire school following a damning Ofsted report. The Harlow Academy, a special educational needs (SEN) school run by The Evolve Trust in Mansfield, was rated inadequate in January 2022 by Ofsted in all areas after the watchdog found the basic care of children's needs were not being met.
The school was placed in the joint care of Nexus Multi Academy Trust and Greenwood Academy Trust - and has returned to the name of Fountaindale School. Following a monitoring visit in July 2022, a report by Ofsted states that "leaders and those responsible for governance are taking effective action towards the removal of special measures".
In the same report, the watchdog said the school continues to be inadequate. However it also stated that the school’s improvement plan is "fit for purpose".
