LES VOIES SCHOOL is not good enough, the headteacher has said, after Ofsted found it inadequate on three of the four areas.

The school off Collings Road has 31 students aged between nine and 16 years old, who have difficulties in managing their emotions and behaviour.

The report found the quality of education, the behaviour and attitude, and the leadership and management were all inadequate, while personal development and welfare required improvement.

Ofsted found that many staff were ill-equipped to manage the poor conduct and attitudes to learning of some pupils, and the expectations for learning and behaviour were not high enough.

Les Voies headteacher Jon Furley said he was upset and disappointed by the report.

‘I absolutely accept that our curriculum at the time of the inspection was not good enough,’ he said.

‘We have been working hard over the last two years to make significant revisions to improve this important aspect of school life and will continue to do so.’
