School bullied?

Shields Gazette

Grindon Hall Christian School, placed into special measures by Ofsted inspectors at the beginning of the year claimed in early October it was being ‘railroaded’ into a takeover by Whitehall.

Ofsted said the school, which opened as a state-funded free school in September 2012, was inadequate and did not promote respect for other faiths. However, parents joined a support group backing the school. The inspection is still the subject of a formal complaint to Ofsted.
