An academy has been slammed by the education watchdog after inspectors found staff and pupils were being ‘physically hurt’ and were ‘worried’ to come into school.
Manor Green Primary Academy in Denton has been rated ‘inadequate’ overall by Ofsted, with the report finding serious failings in regards to students’ behaviour and safeguarding. Following a visit in April, the three-strong inspection team state that leaders allow the ‘violent outbursts of a small but significant number of pupils’ to ‘repeatedly disrupt’ the learning and playtimes of other pupils.
And they state that bullying and name-calling is not dealt with effectively. “As a result, pupils do not feel safe nor are they safe in school,” Ofsted concludes.
