Ofsted inspectors have found there is ‘regular potential for violence’ at a South Bristol school, in a damning inspection report. And the actions taken by leaders at the school to split up the pupils now mean their educational needs aren’t being met.
The inspectors judged every single aspect of the education and leadership at Lansdown Park Academy in Stockwood to be ‘inadequate’, after discovering most of the staff and leaders are new, the buildings have been neglected and pupils with special education needs are left in a school that doesn’t meet their needs, with staff that don’t know how to deal with them.
The shocking report followed an inspection by three Ofsted staff on February 9 and 10 this year. Lansdown Park Academy is a two-site pupil referral unit mainly based at the Stockwood site, with the academy also running a unit at Rush Hill in Bath.
