Wow this is dishonest even by Daily Fail standards.
The actual story is that this school is closing as a result of a poor Ofsted report - and is one of three 'Free' schools that is facing the chop, which includes one islamic school.
Quote: “Student achievement is weak. They do not produce work of enough quality or quantity in order to acquire key skills, gain new knowledge or develop their understanding as quickly as they should. Standards are low and progress is inadequate.”
Teaching was “inadequate”, assessment of students’ work was rated “inaccurate” and “weak” and expectation of pupils’ work was too low. Exclusion rates were high, attendance low and pupil behaviour had led to unsafe situations, particularly on school buses, with “many instances of bullying” and students calling each other unpleasant names. There had also been incidents of students spraying aftershave into other students’ faces, crawling around under seats and failing to use safety belts.
Quote:Announcing the termination of funding, education secretary Nicky Morgan said: “The Ofsted report into Durham Free School reveals that children are being let down by a catalogue of failures. It is failing to ensure children are looked after, failing to provide an environment in which children are able to learn, and failing to provide the quality of education that we expect.
“These findings come on top of a review by the Education Funding Agency which identified serious concerns about financial management, control and governance. It is clear that this has been a troubled school for some time and there is no imminent prospect of improvement. We have therefore decided to close the school and will work with the local authority to ensure every child is found a place at another local school where they can thrive and receive the standard of education that they deserve.”
