Lancashire's Darwen St James Church of England Primary Academy issues an advisory notice
Darwen St James CofE Primary Academy Receives Notice Following Inadequate Ofsted Judgement
The Darwen St James CofE Primary Academy in Blackburn with Darwen Council has received a notice from the Department for Education (DfE) due to an inadequate Ofsted judgement. The notice was issued to the academy's sponsor, Cidari Education Limited.
The Ofsted inspection, which took place some time ago, found the academy to be inadequate, resulting in the notice being issued. The DfE regional director, Vicky Beer, confirmed the news, with her office being located in the North West.
The inadequate rating has led to changes in the academy's leadership. New management has been appointed to address the issues, but specific names have not been publicly detailed.
The Darwen St James CofE Primary Academy is associated with Cidari Education Limited, a company that manages several schools across the UK. The notice issued to Cidari Education Limited is a serious matter and will require significant improvements to be made at the academy.
The local community is being reassured that the DfE is working closely with the academy and Cidari Education Limited to ensure that the necessary changes are made to improve the quality of education for the pupils at the Darwen St James CofE Primary Academy.
The DfE will continue to monitor the academy's progress closely and will take further action if necessary to ensure that the academy meets the required standards. The academy's staff, pupils, and parents are encouraged to work together to improve the academy and ensure a brighter future for all.
