Ofsted inspects primary academy, but then immediately relegates its report to obscure section of its website, as it joins new trust and is therefore a “new school”

Wiping the slate clean: Ofsted reports more or less disappear once a "new school" opens, even if this happens before the report is published...

Ofsted inspected a primary school, rated it inadequate, but its inspection report never appeared in any conventional sense, as it had been taken over by a new academy trust, before the document was even published.

And, even though this incoming trust appears to have had a substantial input into the management of the school before it was inspected, there appears to have been scant recognition of this in the report itself.

Welcome to the bizarre, confusing world of 21^st century education reform in England, as schools transfer from organisation to organisation and, the evidence of this report suggests, the inspectorate struggles to keep up, as accountability for decision-making becomes spectacularly unclear.
