A school given one of the worst Ofsted reports in Bristol’s history is turning itself around quickly, inspectors have found. An Ofsted monitoring inspection at Lansdown Park Academy - a Pupil Referral Unit in Stockwood - said that while the school still required improvement and needed to be in special measures, the new leadership team at the school were already making ‘rapid’ progress.
The report released this week was from the first monitoring inspection that took place in December following last spring’s damning Ofsted inspection. In March last year, inspectors said there was a ‘regular potential for violence’ at the unit, and demanded huge improvements in the way the school was run.
