Top faith school that was accused of 'unlawfully discriminating' against pupils lifted out of special measures

A once 'outstanding' faith school in Manchester is out of special measures nearly two years after Ofsted inspectors deemed it 'inadequate'. But the schools watchdog says King David High School still requires improvement.

It comes after Ofsted accused the school of 'unlawful segregation' of pupils 'on the grounds of faith and belief and sex' following an inspection in 2019. The school was rated 'inadequate' at the time, but the report was eventually quashed after the school's inspection body was threatened with legal action.Mr Rowe stepped down as chair of governors last year, but remains involved in the school.

The latest report based on a full inspection of the school in June praises the work of governors who are now 'making a much stronger contribution to the school's continued progress'. The report, published on Tuesday , also praises the school for creating a 'calm' and 'orderly' environment for learning.

"Pupils, and students in the sixth form, benefit from a rich, broad curriculum that sets them up well to accomplish their future goals. Pupils enjoy their learning. Most pupils live up to their teachers’ high expectations of achievement and attain strong academic outcomes. Students in the sixth form achieve impressive A-level results."
