Cuckoo Hall fails floor targets due to staff split

The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/dec/17/education-failing-primary-schools-academy-gove

One section of Warwick Mansell's Education in Brief focuses on Cuckoo Hall and problems caused by splits in staff.

"Cuckoo Hall, in Enfield, north London, had just 54% of its pupils achieving the expected level in reading, writing and maths, compared with 86% in 2012. It was one of only two Enfield primaries not to reach this year's DfE floor targets.

"In a statement, Cuckoo Hall blames the results on "a small number of staff, who ... opposed the ethos and direction of the Cuckoo Hall Academies Trust Board and left the school by mutual consent at a critical time". The trust has now appointed a new management team, which means that "the actions of a small, critical group of staff cannot derail the ambitions of our school community in this way again," it adds."
