Inadequate Birmingham boys school put in special measures

A Birmingham school for boys with emotional and mental health needs has been put into special measures after it was rated inadequate in all areas.

The school, on Hallmoor Road, caters for 84 boys, aged between five and 14, with social, emotional and mental health difficulties. It was put in special measures because, in their report, inspectors said it was failing to give pupils an "acceptable standard of education". But inspectors said all safeguarding concerns were not consistently reported until recently, some staff did not report potential signs of abuse and, when pupils were absent, not enough checks were made to ensure they were safe.Behaviour in nearly all classes was disruptive and pupils can "pick and choose" what they do and show little or no respect to one another.
