Top-rated HE college gets pre-warning letter for 3-18 academy it sponsors

From FE Week:  Mirus Academy has been sent a pre-warning notice meaning its current sponsor -  a highly rated Walsall College - could be replaced as academy sponsor.



Walsall College Academies Trust chair Jatinder Sharma said: '“On February 4, 2014, the first post-inspection Ofsted monitoring inspection took place at The Mirus Academy. Following the visit, the inspector agreed that the Statement of Action implemented by the interim principal, (partially) new senior leadership team and the sponsors/governors, was fit for purpose. The inspector also commented on a number of actions which already show improvements while giving us constructive ideas for improvement which are currently being made.”

FE Week said: 'The academy, for ages three to 18, was graded as inadequate by Ofsted following an inspection in December and put in special measures, and in his letter Lord Nash highlighted problems with achievement at GCSE level.'
