A Wiltshire primary school that is part of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust faces having its funding stopped and being rebrokered to a new sponsor after receiving an ‘inadequate’ grade from Ofsted in July.
Marden Vale CofE Academy was judged ‘inadequate’ in every category except its early years provision, which ‘requires improvement,’ following its first ever inspection in June. The school was placed in special measures.
As a result a ‘Minded to Terminate’ letter was issued to the members and directors of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust earlier this month by the Regional Schools Commissioner for the South West, Lisa Mannall.
